Beautiful spot to stay for a few nights around Soussevlei. The rooms have everything you need are clean comfortable and well appointed. There is ample space and everything you need for a self catered stay. Breakfast and dinner are avaliable at the sister lodge a few kms down the road. The food and service was excellent but its good to time your meals so you are not surrounded b y the busloads of tourists staying there- go a little later for dinner and breakfast!

the location is perfect for visiting sossusvlei, 5 minutes from the entrance of the park. the rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. could use a little renovation but overall is a good place. the cabins are distant from each other, that guarantees peace and privacy. the staff is nice and friendly. dinner at sossusvlei lodge is good. the view of the mountains at sunrise and sunset is priceless!

amazing weekend in the desert.

had a lovely stay at Desert Camp. Everything was super clean. The rooms are very spacious with a wonderful bathroom. The outside kitchen is fabulous with an incredible view of the mountains. They offer, at no cost, a box of kitchen utensils that has everything you would ever want (including a cast iron pan!)

Close to national park

It was a nice place located close to the national park, offering beautiful scenery. However, communication could have been better. The reception overlooked the booking details of our stay, which caused issues during checkout.

Peace and tranquility.

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.

4/10 Poor

I found this lodge a bit expensive for what it offers. There’s no restaurant on-site, which means you have to pay extra for transfers just to get a meal. The cleaning in my room wasn’t properly done — when I swept the floor upon arrival, I found a lot of sand and dust. That’s pretty disappointing. The very least they could do is sweep and refresh the towels before each new guest arrives. As for their partner, Sossulvei Lodge / Adventure Camp — a nightmare. They couldn’t handle the fact that I canceled some of the meals (which is fair, I’m not going to eat three all-you-can-eat buffets a day!). So they “punish” you by “forgetting” to pick you up, and when you complain, they say, “Well, you canceled the other day.” Uh, yes… I still have the right to do what I want on my vacation, don’t I? But no — they want you to spend your money without questioning anything. They practice a kind of exploitative tourism, clearly designed to milk wealthy white Western tourists, which I am not! And if you refuse to play the fool, they exclude you.

Habitación muy bien equipada con todas las comodidades y muy limpia. Mucha tranquilidad con tu propia terracita para disfrutar las vistas. Piscina perfecta para relajarte por la tarde.La ubicación es increíble , muy muy cerca de la puerta del Parque. La cena es el Lodge de al lado , un buffet muy rico y variado. El desayuno también muy bueno. Pero lo mejor sin duda es el personal que son unos excelentes profesionales que te ayudarán siempre con una sonrisa.

Die Unterkunft liegt ca. 15 Minuten vom äußeren Gate entfernt. Es ist ein idealer Startpunkt, wenn man morgens in den Park möchte. Wichtig ist, dass aktuell das Essen in der 10 Minuten (Auto) entfernten Lodge erfolgt. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen waren super lecker und ausreichend.

Non si può chiedere di più a una struttura che è a soli 3 km da uno dei posti più belli del mondo. Guardare il cielo stellato prima di andare a dormire con solo due volpi a scrutarti. Personale alla reception e al bar accogliete e simpatico. Per la cena si può optare nel fai da te (angolo cottura e barbecue, frigo tutto arredato da stoviglie, pentole e bicchieri), nel self catering o andando nel vicino Desert Lodge che con circa 20 € si attingere ai tavoli del buffet con piatti caldi cucinati al momento su richiesta specifica.

Komfortables Camp unweit des Eingangs zum Sossusvlei Die einzelnen Chalets sind groß und gut ausgestattet. Wer keine Lust auf Selbstversorgung hat kann Halbpension in der Sossusvlei Lodge buchen. Das Essen dort ist hervorragend; die Lodge ist allerdings sehr groß und Anlaufpunkt für viele internationale Touristen.

Traumhafte Lage mit super ausgestatteten Häuschen. Desert Cam, der Name ist Programm. Der Pool ist wirklich Luxus aber toll. Das Personal sehr zuvorkommend. Eine nette Bar ist vorhanden. Das zubuchbare Essen in der Sossusvlei Lodge ist hervorragend und sehr zu empfehlen.

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.
