Namib Desert Lodge

Freundlicher Empfang und zuvorkommender Service. Viel Auswahl beim Büffet-Abendessen.

Nice walking trail around the water hole with some Oryxes.

Great stay overall. The lodge is a true oasis and a welcome sanctuary of lush green foliage and birdsong in the middle of the desert. One word of caution - if you need access to the internet, they have an outmoded voucher system that makes using the internet both highly inefficient and costly for guests. Connecting and sharing with family back home was a pain. Aside from our frustration with the internet access, we had an amazing stay! Highly recommend if you are planning to unplug completely.

Beautiful setting against the desert backdrop, wildlife wandering outside our patio, we really enjoyed our stay here and also enjoyed a couple of the local hikes, it is nice that they have marked trails. The pools are lovely especially after a hot day hiking the dunes. Great service and excellent food, good thing because there is nothing else nearby! There were freshly cooked options at both the breakfast (eg. omelet) and dinner (eg. stir-fry) very much appreciated as I am not a fan of buffet meals. The roads are quite rough and this lodge is a ways outside of Sesriem however that worked well for us as we were heading north to Swakopmund the day after touring the dunes. Highly recommend! My 2 suggestions are (1) fridge in the room and (2) a la carte dinner options.

We loved this place! Very friendly and welcoming the moment we arrived and for our entire stay. Very impressed with the whole operation. Our “Sundowner” drive with Riann was a big and somewhat unexpected highlight. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Would absolutely recommend this place and hope to return someday.

We loved this lodge and the scenery. We hadn’t appreciated quite how remote it is and two nights was a good length of time to stay. We did some of the walking routes which are marked and enjoyed the pool. The food was good but the choice was limited for lunches. A beautiful view and location.

The hotel is quite remote, not bad. Just no a la carte dinner, only a very very large buffet which I was not up for. No other eating establishments within 49-50 miles. Rooms and gardens are very clean and comfortable. However the sink’s cold water faucet did not work. Also the only electrical outlet in the room wasn’t working (fixed). A nice pace to stay on the northern end around Solitaire.

Beautiful set up and garden in spectacular setting

If you are planning to stay 2 nigths in the area this hotel is a good option since it is located between Sesriem and the Dunes. With this, you can save ~1 hr driving on your arrival, enjoy the activities around Sesriem and dedicate the next day to go to The Dunes, Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. You will be tired at your return so you can relax at the hotel pool and enjoy nice buffet. There is no tv, no internet in the roomwhich is good for the family time. You only have them at the reception area. When we went, hotel was full of transit groups of retied people. It was ok and did not cause any issue.

A little outdated when compared to other options, but a nice place nonetheless. Dinner was decent, breakfast was good, staff was nice. A 40min drive to the park gates
