When I arrived, they had no idea of my booking. Luckily, they had room, but this should…
Nice walking trail around the water hole with some Oryxes.

Great stay overall. The lodge is a true oasis and a welcome sanctuary of lush green foliage and birdsong in the middle of the desert. One word of caution - if you need access to the internet, they have an outmoded voucher system that makes using the internet both highly inefficient and costly for guests. Connecting and sharing with family back home was a pain. Aside from our frustration with the internet access, we had an amazing stay! Highly recommend if you are planning to unplug completely.

We loved this place! Very friendly and welcoming the moment we arrived and for our entire stay. Very impressed with the whole operation. Our “Sundowner” drive with Riann was a big and somewhat unexpected highlight. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. Would absolutely recommend this place and hope to return someday.

Very enjoyable desert visit
Beautiful setting against the desert backdrop, wildlife wandering outside our patio, we really enjoyed our stay here and also enjoyed a couple of the local hikes, it is nice that they have marked trails. The pools are lovely especially after a hot day hiking the dunes. Great service and excellent food, good thing because there is nothing else nearby! There were freshly cooked options at both the breakfast (eg. omelet) and dinner (eg. stir-fry) very much appreciated as I am not a fan of buffet meals. The roads are quite rough and this lodge is a ways outside of Sesriem however that worked well for us as we were heading north to Swakopmund the day after touring the dunes. Highly recommend! My 2 suggestions are (1) fridge in the room and (2) a la carte dinner options.

We loved this lodge and the scenery. We hadn’t appreciated quite how remote it is and two nights was a good length of time to stay. We did some of the walking routes which are marked and enjoyed the pool. The food was good but the choice was limited for lunches. A beautiful view and location.

Namib Desert Lodge.
The hotel is quite remote, not bad. Just no a la carte dinner, only a very very large buffet which I was not up for. No other eating establishments within 49-50 miles. Rooms and gardens are very clean and comfortable. However the sink’s cold water faucet did not work. Also the only electrical outlet in the room wasn’t working (fixed). A nice pace to stay on the northern end around Solitaire.

Sehr gepflegte Aussenanlage. Pool war sauber und gepflegt. Essen war gut und reichhaltig auch große Auswahl. Zimmer gepflegt obwohl es schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen war. Trotz Beschreibung war kein Insektenschutznetz zur Verfügung, was aber wegen dier unzähligen Falter und Schmetterlinge sinnvoll gewesen wäre. Ein Kühlschrank oder eine Minibar hätte wir auch erwartet. Ein Poll wurde in der Zeit gerade renoviert, was zur essenszeit zu einer gewissen "Geruchsbelästigung" wegen der verwendeten Farbe führte.Alles in allem eine empfehlenswerte Unterkunft

Goed hotel zeer lekker buffet
Zeer lekker avond eten(buffet)Leuke grote kamers maar geen koelkast in dit land is onaanvaardbaar en enkel mogelijk bij Gondwana Hotels.De tuinen en de omliggende versteende duinen zijn zeer mooi en zitten vol met oryxen. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk.Zeer leuk winkeltje bij de receptie.Spijtig dat de excursie voor de sundowner zo vroeg vertrok we hadden geen kans om mee te gaan naar het uitkijkplatform.

Eine Oase mitten in extrem trockenem Umland. Sehr gepflegt Unterkunft mit toller Lage unterhalb einer Sandsteinformation, welche mit drei unterschiedlich langen, sehr gut gekenzeichneten Pfaden begehbar war. Die Bilder halten alles was Sie versprechen ! Hervorragend geschultes, freundliches und stets um den Gast bemühtes Personal. Sehr gutes Frühstücks und Abendbuffet. Ein kleines Manko ist die "individuelle" Preisgestaltung beim zugebuchten Buffet. Im Voraus bestellt fürt alle Aufenthaltstage, lag die Buchung nicht vor. Ausgewiesenr Preis 360 NAD pP/Abend. Vor Ort konnten selbst auswärtige zu 300 NAD kurzfristig buchen, und obwohl der Preis in der Speisekarte, auf einer Tafel im Restaurant mit 300 NAD angegeben war - wurden 360 NAD für vier Personen für vier Nächte berechnet. Schade

Ich kann diese Lodge nicht empfehlen.
Die Lodge ist sehr groß und von Busreisegruppen überlaufen. Die Zimmer sind eher klein und leider auch sehr hellhörig, so dass man alles aus den Nachbarzimmern hört. Der Service lässt zu wünschen übrig. Wenn man etwas braucht, muss man selbst aktiv werden. Das Essen war lecker, aber leider nur als für namibianische Verhältnisse sehr teures Buffet buchbar. Wir würden beim nächsten Mal woanders hin gehen.
