Desert Homestead offers 20 thatched, en suite chalets, all attractively decorated in pale linens and dark wood furniture. Each unit has its own veranda under a latte canopy with views extending to the mountains.
Each chalet has large single or double beds and ensuite bathroom with shower and toilet. All guest amenities (soaps, shampoo, body lotion etc.) are environmetally friendly, whilst all electricity is charged by wind and solar power stored during the daytime.
The living areas of the main building are all open plan with the most prominent feature being a well sheltered veranda where you can have a leisurely breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Inside, you will find a comfortable lounge with ethnic, African decoration and leather sofas. Satellite TV is available in a separate room and internet facilities are available in the adjacent curio shop. The bar is attended by a friendly, well educated and chatty barman who was great company on our last visit.
The swimming pool in front of the main building is great for a refreshing dip and also a good place to just relax and slow down after travelling.
Desert Homestead is well know for its wonderful horse-riding excursions – the sunrise and sunset rides are particularly special. Other activities include guided Sossusvlei dune excursions, scenic flights, hot-air ballooning and quad biking.
Great value with an easy laid-back atmosphere.

We had an amazing family holiday (2 kids aged 10) and the service and recommendations from S&B were fantastic. Local Masai Wanderings guide (Clement) was brilliant, knowledgeable and friendly and a real joy to travel with. Everything went very smoothly which was a testament to the organisation by S&B. Many thanks to Nick and the team, we will be back!
When you book a holiday like this you know it’s going to be early starts and early nights, and on the go Inbetween. It is the most rewarding experience, and the mix of luxury and tented accommodation makes you appreciate both, the consistent is the level of service from all staff, and their inherent friendliness was an added bonus.
I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.
We had the BEST time! I have been struggling to put into words how amazing our honeymoon actually was. By the time we got to Selous Riverside Safari Camp it was after lunch so we’d missed the afternoon trip but we went on the river safari late afternoon which was brilliant, could only be discribed as breathtaking for our first few sightings.
