Tolle Unterkunft
Tolle Unterkunft, super Lage. Wir können das BBQ Paket nur empfehlen. Auch dass man die Geschirrbox abholen und eine Kaution hinterlegen muss, ist vollkommen in Ordnung. So kann sichergestellt werden, dass man eine vollständige Ausstattung hat. Das Internet an der Bar und am Pool funktioniert ganz gut. Die Hütten bieten alles was man braucht.
Spectacular views and comfortable beds. Outside cooking and bbq area. Pool by the bar and ice cold beer. 5 minutes from gate to Sossusvlei. Of the two camps, this is the one with better views.

Great stay when visiting Sossusvlei
We had a nice stay in this property. The house was clean, good size and offered meal in the mother lodge near by.
Excellent value. Staff were very helpful. Please note that although I haven’t given the highest grades for cleanliness or condition, I have given grades that are the next highest level and one has to recognize that this is due to the location being alongside a desert/dune area where sand blows in the wind and thus it would be virtually impossible to expect a higher score in such circumstances. I really enjoyed this stay; you are on the edge of the desert and feel at one with the surroundings,
Spacious small unit, with an outside kitchen, wonderful view of the evening sky, cool swimming pool area, and one-of-a-kind dining experience in Sossusvlei Lodge.
Great location, very close to the park entrance (4 km). Food options were great but you’ll need to drive to the other resort for their restaurant which is close to park entrance.

This property was in the middle of the desert and had amazing views. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The accomodation itself was very basic and not in any way fitting with the price tag. Beds were old and in need of replacing. Floor was very dirty. Accomodation close by was much better.
Great self catering option in the area. Good service, clean place, air conditioning in the desert. Really enjoyed the braii and that you could pre-order food to be delivered to your room for cooking. Made meals perfect.
Only improvement I could say is to bridge the beds together a little better. We stayed at several other places that joined the two mattresses much more seamlessly. At least have one duvet/linens when joining them for couples.
The mountain view from each chalet’s porch area is amazing! There is a lighted waterhole for oryx viewing. Each chalet has it’s own outdoor kitchenette with hotplate, BBQ, utensils: BYO food or order a cookout basket. The property is well situated to visit Sossusvlei.
An excellent stay that well exceeded our expectations.
Stunning scenery and great to see wildlife around, Braai pack was great value.
Staff we very accommodating and flexible. Just a bit slow like all around Namibia.
Pricey but what you got was quite unique ina very remote location. Nice staff.

Disliked: Staff & service
Terrible reception upon arrival and bad service by the small bar attendant, and even by the manager who did not seem interested in how you were. Nobody available to ask a question of or to get help of any kind. Nobody seemed to care about the guest’s well being, so basically you’re on your own in the isolated and remote desert for the hefty cost of $139 US dollars per night.
Nice self catering accommodation with newly built units.
The camp is near the entrance to the park and it is linked to the nearby Sossusvley Lodge. There is a small pool in the complex and each unit has a small kitchen with sufficient utensils to prepare BBQ meals. The uncooked food can be ordered at good prices from a list available at reception. The internet works only in the bar and pool area.
The view from the units is fantastic and they are well spaced. We enjoyed our stay at this camp and the staff was very courteous
