Namibian hospitality group Gondwana Collection Namibia has launched the Reverie Kalahari Pod, an all-inclusive retreat for two, marking the latest addition to its Secret Collection of luxury properties.
Located about 20 miles northeast of Mariental, the new pod is nestled among the red Kalahari dunes and draws inspiration from traditions of the local, indigenous Khoi San people. The exclusive-use property features a private plunge pool overlooking a dedicated waterhole where guests can observe wildlife, including giraffes and oryxes.
"Our vision for the Secret Collection includes a circuit across Namibia's highlight destinations," said Gys Joubert, managing director of Gondwana Collection Namibia. "The opening of Reverie brings us one step closer to this goal, followed by February's opening of the Ekipa Etosha Pod."
The property is now accepting bookings through Gondwana's online reservation system; the price is about $1,500 per night for two persons. That covers all meals, drinks and activities. The pod is designed to offer complete seclusion, with activities and dining experiences customized to guest preferences, including private dining under the stars.
This opening represents the continued expansion of Gondwana's Secret Collection, with the company focusing on unique locations across Namibia.
