We had a very nice stay overall. Our chalet was spacious with an amazing desert & mountain view. We opted in for full board and food was great with plenty of choice. A bit weirdly, we had fish which was fresh and well prepared (couldn't say the same for all the places we stayed at in Namibia, even of others were by the ocean). Finally, the property's location is very good for visiting Sossusvlei - right at the park's great, not and hour drive away like many others.

Super Awesome Stay

We had an amazing stay! Room 145 with the little pool was stunning! We used the pool everyday. The room is super spacious, beautifully decorated, every detail is perfect. The food was very good with a big variety to choose from. We took one of their activity flights to see an aerial view, highly recommend it!

I came to Namibia to photograph the country, especially Deadvlei. I traveled 1000 miles in a 4x4 truck and I travel spontaneously without a strict itinerary. I needed a hotel to stay near the entrance to Namibi Naukluft Park and Sossuvlei Lodge was perfect!! It is located a 3-minute drive from the park entrance. It was perfect. While staying at the lodge, I was able to find dark space back behind my room and get incredible photos of the stars and the Milky Way. The lodge is beautiful and luxurious. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast and dinner were top-notched and included such interesting and delicious foods. I didn't realized until I checked out that this lodge is considered one of the best in the world! I whole-heartedly recommend Sossuvlei Lodge!

Well run, good location

We stayed two nights at Sossuvlei Lodge - as it is a perfect jumping off point into the national park. This location worked well for their organised morning tour (which eas good) and a self-guided trip to Sesriem Canyon. The lodge is larger and more busy than many other in Namibia (because of the location) so be prepared for a lot of people and Western style busy dinner buffet. The lodge is unbounded to the desert which is nice for seeing Oryx come wandering nearby. Our room was large, but the bathroom oddly hot with a strange smell. Overall, the place was what we wanted so we we're pleased with our stay.

Sossusvlei Lodge offers a captivating desert experience with its stunning location at the entrance of iconic red dunes. The lodge's dinner buffet is a highlight, featuring a diverse and delicious spread that caters to various tastes. The combination of the delectable dining options and the lodge's strategic positioning make it an excellent choice for travelers seeking both culinary delights and convenient access to the mesmerizing Sossusvlei landscape.

One of the best safari lodges that I have been to. Rooms are fantastic, food and service all very very good and the safari tours from the lodge one of the very best. A great place and would highly recommed it. I drove a Sedan vehicle from Walvis Bay, the road is hectic and whilst you get to see some magic places along the way, I would rather fly, there is an airport very close to the lodge.

This property was decent and clean and very close to the dunes entry area. Our unit was a bit of a walk away from the parking area so that was a challenge. Also, there is no wifi in the rooms (really no wifi in all of the area). You had to go to the restaurant or bar area to get wifi and that was very frustrating. I could not even make phone calls from my room without a wifi connection. I think this information should be made known ahead of time so people can prepare for that situation.

Le gros avantage, établissement à l’entrée du parc. Les chambres sont jolies, mais ce lodge est énorme, un lodge usine avec de gros groupes, beaucoup de monde. Nourriture du soir moyenne, petit déjeuner de mauvaise qualité. Finalement, c’est cher payer la proximité du parc.
