Namib Desert Lodge

The pool and gardens were immaculate and my family room was very clean and comfortable. On arrival the key would not open the door lock. It took 40 slow minutes to have it repaired and then he asked for a tip !! I wish there was a power point near the bed so I could have my phone charging while in use. The pool towels all need replacing and the sun lounges were covered in bird poop. The Sunset tour was fantastic. I felt that we were not given enough time on the full day Soussvlei tour to climb Big Daddy and then walk amongst the trees in Deadvlei. Just walking around the trees was rushed because they were in a hurry to leave for their picnic area. The tour guides were excellent.

This is a good place to stay for touring Sossusblai and the Namib Desert. The facilities are good, the food is good, and the staff are friendly.

Excellent rooms, pools, staff. Mediocre food.

The blanket was dirty. The staff was not in particular welcoming. However they offer an affordable price which makes up to it

NETTE GEPFLEGTE ANLAGE. FREUNDLICHES PERSONAL.

Excellent!

I absolutely enjoyed my short stay at Namib Desert Lodge

Namib Desert Lodge was such a lovely place to stay. The rooms and lodge were comfortable and well-kept; the food in the restaurant was great; the service was wonderful. They offered great excursions for guests who were interested in this.

My GoPro was lost there and they found it and then delivered it to Etosha Safari Lodge, another hotel of the same company, where we stayed a few days later. This tells a lot positively about this company. On this trip we only used Gondwana hotels and services. The company didn’t disappoint us. I highly recommend Gondwana.

Excellent service and lovely staff.

Everything in Namib Desert Lodge was really good! Please join also the desert exploration programs!

Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic. Would love to stay here again.

Nice place, friendly staff. Good family room. For dinner there were only meat options but the chef was able to prepare fish which was very nice. Also the quota on internet was a bit inconvenient. But a very nice place overall also for families.

The service here definitely stands out as these are some of the nicest and most helpful hosts I’ve ever met. However, the facilities are also excellent with good food. Excursion is also awesome and well worth the price.

Wonderful stay and incredible service. Stayed in the tented camp, was very well equipped, beautiful, and clean. Found the staff to be exceptionally hospitable and helpful.

We stayed in a standard tent. The tents are located a short drive/walk from the main lodge...a completely peaceful and beautiful desert setting near fossilized red dunes. From the description on Expedia, I thought the tent would have a very minimal kitchen. What a pleasant surprise to find a refrigerator, 2-burner stove, sink, pots and pans and cooking utensils, dishes and cutlery, camping chairs, and everything needed for BBQ/braai! We bought food at the store at the gas station in Sesriem and were able to cook for ourselves at night and enjoy a campfire under the stars...and housekeeping staff did our dishes in the morning! We also ate some of our meals at the lodge. Unfortunately, they were offering a limited menu (rather than buffet) because there were very few guests due to Covid. Staff were kind and helpful, and several times someone dropped by the tent to make sure our needs were met. Be aware that the tents are very chilly at night during winter. With warm clothes and the nice warm bedding provided, we managed just fine. We loved our stay and would be happy to return.

The property is super nice, located almost 10km off the main road near a beautiful outcropping of rocks. Got a pleasant greeting when arriving, but was made to wait for my tent even when it was obvious there were no guests the previous night. They are pretty particular about not checking in before 200 pm. Dinner was quite expensive for Namibian standards (330 R), but was quite good with an open buffet. It included dessert in their very nice dining area. A number of oryx were visible just outside the dining area just after dark. Stayed in the tents, which were new, clean and very livable. Overall a very pleasant experience for the money, but they should let up if rooms/tents are available and guests come a bit early.

We enjoyed our tent. It was perfect for a family of four and had everything that we needed. Excellent to have a large fridge and freezer and the kitchen was well equipped. The only negative is that most of staff are pretty grumpy and rude.

When I arrived, they had no idea of my booking. Luckily, they had room, but this should not have happened. Especially if you book a year in advance.

Nice walking trail around the water hole with some Oryxes.
