This is the second time we have stayed at Desert Quiver Camp and were not disappointed. The chalets are comfortable and you can braai outside your chalet. The night skies are amazing. I had very good service from the reservations agent who went out of her way to assist, even with booking the sossusvlei nature drive. This is a lovely option of accommodation at Sossusvlei.

Perfect location to visit the Sossusvlei. The room is basic but clean. Nice that you have your own little house. For dinner you can choose to have a barbecue at your room or eat at Sossusvlei Lodge. We chose to eat at the Sossvlei Lodge, which I highly recommend. The buffet is very extensive and delicious. Staff is very friendly.

Excellent location, very close to main entrance of Sossusvlei. Very nice chalets, well equipped, comfortable for 3-4 people (note the pull out bed is a bit narrow for 2 adults). Very friendly staff. We used both the self-catering equipment (with braai) and for breakfast, but also enjoyed the buffet 1 evening at the main lodge. We were happy to use breakfast at the chalet, since you need to use your car when going to the main lodge.

The location is : real desert, so the camp is a kind of an oasis. The accomodation is very clean, spacious, well equiped. Even free wifi near the reception (a miracle in the desert). Be aware you'll have to drive to Sossusvlei lodge for all your meals (even the breakfast).

Fabulous place. Although having stayed on a previous trip at Namib Naukluft lodge I reckon its the place that is so special and all lodges should be great. The pool area, bar and room were all fantastic. We also took 2 trips with the adventure team which were good value and enjoyable; plus ate at Sossus lodge an evening meal, a lunch and a breakfast. Again all very pleasant. The one disappointment was the braai. We were really looking forward to this. We found it hard to work out how much we needed of everything. So ended up with enough wood for the whole place 🤣; but probably not enough food; which then they had supply issues with and so we had even less, when substitutes weren’t provided. A lovely immaculate place in a stunning setting, right at the park entrance.

Awesome stay! We did the self catering option with delivery of Brai items to the room that was already in the fridge by the time we arrived. Ordered the oryx, garlic bread (huge loaf- can def serve 4-6 people so only grill what you need), and potatoes. Super convenient. Appreciated the hot water, a/c and wifi in the lounge area. The kitchen box is great but is missing a sponge to clean the dishes and one more dish rag to dry the dishes. Would recommend adding that to the box. Overall a great stay with friendly staff, close proximity to the lodge if you want the breakfast and dinner option and you can book activities at their adventure center. Do the Cessna flight- super worth it and they will try to find other folks to get on your flight so it’s not so expensive. Seeing where the dunes meet the ocean was a once in a lifetime experience. And the difference between desert camp and quiver according to staff are the views and also that Desert Camp has a bigger pool area with more trees.

Can't get any better. A lodge in the middle of the desert. Amazing views, we had oryx, African wild cat and black backed jackal in front of our patio. The outside kitchen was great for the BBQ. The pool and bar area really nice and the staff so happy especially Eilli. We had breakfast at Sossusvlei Lodge which started at 5.30 to allow you to enter the park when it opened

We put our money in the safe which was locked, same as our room. They took half of the money from the safe, €2000,- We made a statement at the police and now Taleni Africa, through whom we booked, keeps on referring us to the Sesriem police, no help from their side at all.

Dear Alberdine, As per our replies to Rick and Roy, lashing out on review platforms will not intimidate us into providing compensation. By law we are prohibited to act until the police investigation has been concluded. This has been clearly explained to everyone. In fact we should report these reviews to the police currently investigating the case to take it in consideration. Best wishes, The Desert Quiver Camp Team
