Gondwana Collection Namibia has recently unveiled the Reverie Kalahari Pod as part of its expanding Secret Collection which offers an unperilled level of exclusivity and speaks directly to immersive and luxury travel alongside popular offerings like Desert Whisper, The Pearls Beach Pods, The Weinberg Urban Pod and Namushasha River Villa. Much like the iconic Kalahari desert itself, the Reverie has a story to tell, one that nostalgically feels like time stands suspended in the stillness of red dunes. Joining this collection is the Ekipa Etosha Pod, set to open in February next year.
An invitation to experience a world class luxury facility and the beauty of one of Namibia's oldest deserts, the pod is located just 30 kilometers northeast of Mariental on the C20 road. Its architectural style is inspired by three ostrich eggs snuggled together- a modern homage to the Khoisan people, who have historically used ostrich eggs to store water and make jewellery. Every facet of the design honours the unique spirit of Namibia’s breathtaking scenery while incorporating contemporary luxury.
The Reverie, a multisensory offering, is made up of three spacious dome-like buildings. With its open-plan design, the pod offers an en-suite bedroom flowing onto a balcony, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area that opens into an expansive outdoor space. Here, guests can indulge in private barbecues, relax by a plunge pool overlooking a waterhole, or sleep under the stars in a dreamy outdoor nook. Meals are prepared in advance according to guests' preferences and served from a stocked kitchen and bar.
Privacy and exclusivity are key at Reverie. While there is no on-site service personnel or chef, visitors may communicate with their host by radio if they have any requirements, and a private chef can be hired to create a personalised supper. USB connections, free Wi-Fi, and air conditioning provide modern comfort in a classic environment.
Imagine waking to the soft glow of dawn as the sun spreads its first rays of light across dunes with an unspoiled view of all the desert has to offer, visible from your private plunge pool overlooking a waterhole. The retreat offers an all-inclusive experience tailored for two, where every detail—from bespoke dining under star-lit skies to tailored experiences across the Kalahari—has been crafted to whisper luxury without disturbing the serenity of this delicate ecosystem teeming with life. Come uncover a secret, uncover a Kalahari daydream.
