Namib Naukluft Lodge

As the sun set on the horizon, it bathed the landscape in golden light – a moment of pure magic we will never forget. Accompanied by delicious food and the warm smiles of the staff, our stay was truly a gift for the soul. Thank you for these wonderful memories.

Very nice lodge with capable and friendly staff. For me, especially Erikson stood out for his general knowledge and good conversations. WiFi worked well in our room and in the general areas (we stayed in room 2, closer to the lobby). The only drawback I can see of being closer to the lobby is that some light is visible during the night if you want to do star-gazing. The lodge maintenance guys were very helpful in getting my tyre plugged and changed. There’s a compressor at the maintenance shop. Dinner and breakfast were good. Definitely stay here at least one night and try to make use of the pool overlooking the desert. I saw Wildebeast and Oryx from my room and a wild night sky!

This lodge is one of a widely dispersed assortment of resorts in a most extraordinary part of Namibia. Namib Naukluft was built a few years ago now (I'm guessing '60's or '70's) and is a bit dated but you quickly get past that with the genuine hospitality and simplicity of the lodge... and it's location. Food was good, sometimes great, service wonderful. It is remote. Solitaire is a dusty 15 minutes away. It has a petrol station, a restaurant and a bakery with the best apple crumble this side of the English Channel...but that's it, so no eating out or heading down to the local after dinner. This simple and charming resort is all you have - and all you will need.

Very comfortable rooms and beds in a lovely setting for sunrises and sunsets. The food was very good especially the 5 course meal including Chicken Cordon Blu. The best part are the friendly and attentive staff. Someone was always around making sure you had what you needed and your stay was good. While it’s 1 hr to Sossusviel it was worth the time to get there and back, plus we were able to see wildlife along the way, thanks to the eagle eyes of the guide. I recommend it.

The camp belongs to the lodge and we had a great time: the staff was very polite and helpful, the rooms very clean, the food just excellent! If we come back to Namibia we'll definitely come back!

Nice and quiet lodge 1,5 hour drive away from Sossus Vlei. Excellent food! Wonderful sundown drives where many wildlife can be seen and at night many stars at the sky. Friendly staff, great beds. Bathrooms a bit outdated however, pool at a nice location with view on the desert
