Loved this place. Rooms were great, accommodation was great, service was great, food was great. Highly recommend staying here. The rooms seem like tents but they really aren’t from the inside. There is Wi-Fi but only in the lobby and it’s not fast at all. Lots of accommodation such as a great pool, a bar and even a shop to buy local things.

We had a great stay. Big lodge, but still with a nice atmosphere. Great buffet with breakfast and dinner. Very nice activities with knowledgeable guides! Nice location with some animals close by and only a few meters away from the Namib Naukluft park entry. We can fully recommend this location.
Dear Thorben,
Thank you for the superb rating and recommendation!
Delighted that you enjoyed the atmosphere at our Lodge, our location, roaming wildlife and the range of activities with our knowledgeable guides!
We look forward to welcome you back!

We had one night here as part of our Rovos rail trip. The individual bungalow rooms were comfortable and clean and had what we needed. Some were quite a walk in the heat from the main hotel area.
Lunch on our arrival was a poor quality buffet but we had a major bbq dinner for the whole train in the bush which was spectacular. Also a breakfast out the following morning
I guess as nobody will be staying for long and it is in the desert it’s to be expected that it feels very in personal but for us it didn’t detract from our visit
We found the guides on the drives to be excellent
At the time of year we visited it was extremely hot during the day and extremely cold in the mornings and evenings so clothing layers are needed. When going out on drives definitely wear sunglasses and have a scarf to tie around your face and head as the vehicles are open and a lot of sand and dust is thrown up on the drives.
Dear Julie,
Thank you for the great rating and review!
Glad you enjoyed the comfortable accommodation units, the spectacular bush dinner and Desert breakfast experience and the service you received from our guides on the drives.
Looking forward to welcome you back during your next visit to Sossusvlei!

We loved the little details that made the lodge luxurious for our taste. The damp towels at check-in may not feel important from the home perspective but after a sandy day in the desert, they were divine. The lodge seemed popular but was quiet and peaceful.
Special acknowledge for the stir fry at dinner, it was so good and the lady cooking it was helpful and skillful.
Dear Hannamari,
Thank you for the excellent rating and review! We are very pleased that you enjoyed the little extras, the peaceful environment, the stir-fry at dinner and the service you received!
Looking forward to welcome you back during your next visit to Sossusvlei!

This lodge lives off its location near the dunes and does not pay enough attention to the service levels and quality of accomodation. As a customer we felt as though we were being accommodated in a fixed regime of service without any flexibility. We would not return as the eating was dining by numbers and too much of the service was too strict including eating times etc.
Dear Redarmy,
Thank you for the rating and feedback of your stay.
We are normally praised for our service levels - our apologies that you did not experience the hospitality that we are renowned for.
Dinner is served as a buffet in the time-frame from 19h00 until 21h30 which gives guests ample time to leisurely dine and is not extremely strict?
Best wishes,
The Sossusvlei Lodge Team
