The generally positive reviews of this lodge are spot on. It is a very good place. The "tent-style" room was well appointed. It was not a tent in the strict sense, as the bathroom, foyer and verandah areas consist of a free-standing cement structure, with a canvas sleeping area in between. But, given how much I dislike camping, I was... more

Some guide books say "You'll either love this place or hate it" and I was glad to find that we loved it! As others have said the hotel is located right next to the park gates and fuel station in Sesriem allowing you to be dune bound straight after sunrise. Although the hotel is of a fair size our room... more

Sossusvlei lodge is the closest lodge to the park and therefore ideally placed to get in and see the dunes before the heat becomes intense, The chalet tents are very comfortable and the food was excellent. There are jackels outside which come up to the perimeter wall when you are eating dinner Al fresco, but they cannot get near to... more

We had intended to stay two nights here, however ,as we were delayed leaving Gatwick Airport we actually arrived very early in the morning of our second day. Although only the security staff were around, they were expecting us and we were still able to check in and head to bed. The room was an individual lodge seperate from the... more

My family stayed three nights at Sossusvlei Lodge and it was a very pleasant place to stay. We had nice rooms at the edge of the hotel site, which meant that we had uninterrupted views from our rooms (worth asking for if you are booking). We liked the buffet-style meals, and particularly enjoyed the large variety in the evenings. The... more

Stayed for 2 nights after travelling from Windhoek. As a previous reviewer stated it is a long drive on gravel but not at all difficult and a stunning drive. The accomodation is very comfortable with a good bathroom and very comfortable bedroom with a terrace at the back overlooking the desert - beautiful sunsets. We found the staff pleasant and... more

We booked 2 nights, but left after the first night due to several problems we experienced, which is not normal for a 5* lodge at R 2,083,- ( US$ 300.-)per night: We could not eat a-la-carte, only buffet; Staff was very lazy and only had interest in hanging out together chatting; When we arrived the evening before we also did... more

Very nice property in the middle of the desert. Cabins were comfortable (but very basic) , food was very good, staff helpful and friendly, but... the cabins are not air conditioned, so it does get very hot in the summer, and because there was a gap at the bottom of the door to my cabin, a desert rat managed to... more

We stayed here in August 2006 and went for a balloon flight, they forgot to wake in time they were half an hour late and, the next day we heard the same from some other people. Not very amusing if you only have two days there. Besides that we wanted to have lunch and couldn't sit outside with the two... more
