Some confusion at check in. Rooms large and well equipped (no hot water on 2nd morning).Dinner was a buffet seated outside, beef and game offering , meat tough, buffet side dishes OK, cutlery quality poor, no steak knife to cut the tough meat offerings. Wi-Fi ,weak signal and only available in the bar. Breakfast buffet OK, hot dishes chef battled to keep up with demand, 4 X 4 excursion to the Dead Vlei and the large dues, good, well guided and driven

Dear Nigel,
Thank you for the great overall rating!
We are pleased that you enjoyed our location, large rooms and the guided excursion to the dunes and Deadvlei!
The meats from different antelopes are different in toughness - we do offer a high quality imported steak knife on each table setting.
Looking forward to your next visit!
Best wishes.
The Sossusvlei Lodge Team

We didn’t stay at the Sossusvlei Lodge Hotel but booked a sundowner drive which left at 16:45 and lasted a couple of hours.

The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and took us to a great spot where we could climb up a little to get a better view and then set up a table with snacks and cold drinks for us to enjoy whilst we watched the sun go down.

Cost was circa £18 per person and included the snacks and plenty of drinks (wine, beer and soft drinks).

Luxurious with a spectacular location, what a treat! My family and our friends loved everything about this place and we were very happy to have three nights there. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious and very comfortable with incredible views. We loved the viewing tower for the beautiful sunsets, and swam every day in the pool. The buffet breakfast and dinner were unbelievable too. Thoroughly recommend this place!

The facilities, accomodations are excellent. The locations is very quiet and close to the main interesting point to visit.
Also the buffet menu was very good prepared and offering a variety of options.
An excellent option to stay in this place of Namibia.
