"Useful desert stopover "

2 nights Arrived 8 Apr 2017
"The lodge is a useful stop over between Darmaraland and Swakopmund and (in the season) sightings of desert elephant are regular and close. Unfortunately the elephant to do not travel through here until June and we were wrongly advised.

The cabin rooms were clean when we arrived but not cleaned the following day. They are very basic and there is no air conditioning and the fans operate for 10 minutes early evening and then the power runs out. Windows had panels of mosquito netting missing although there were mosquito nets on the single beds.

The lodge requires maintenance. the pool and seating around it needs care although the walled garden, populated by several active tortoises, is immaculate and clearly a work of love. Sunsets from the rocks above the hotel looking over the desert are spectacular.

The front desk staff were not helpful, restaurant staff were very pleasant.

There is singing from the local community/staff after dinner." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Lovely setting"

1 night Arrived 28 Jan 2016
"The most memorable thing from White Lady Lodge is the spectacular Brandberg - the highest mountain in Namibia which forms the background.

The lodge is set in a nice and slightly eccentric desert garden. Accommodation in small individual spaced out cottages set in a sandy maze of desert bushes is basic but perfectly good.

Food was good - not quite excellent." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 10n in Rwanda; 1n in Kenya; 1n in South Africa

"Brandberg White Lady Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 15 Sep 2015
"The 23 km on the access track would be a real test for a non 4WD car, it's sandy, corrugated and rough.

The lodge itself was great though. The staff helpful, entertaining and the food good. The chalets were scattered through the surrounding bush and felt remote which we enjoyed, but may not suit everybody.

We didn't see any desert elephants though we knew they were in the camp, just saw their tracks in the morning. The chalets are in need of a little updating, but the chalet was very cool and the water heater was lit twice a day to provide hot water for us." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Brandberg White Lady Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 30 Aug 2014
"The advantage to the White Lady Lodge is it close to the park and most amazing rock art in the world.

The main lodge area is very nice, but the rooms are simple and clean, nothing to be excited about." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"A long way to travel to see nothing!"

1 night Arrived 17 Jun 2014
"We asked to stay at Brandberg White Lady Lodge as we had previously enjoyed a stay there looking at the Desert elephants. However, when we arrived we found that the safari vehicle was off the road and it looked as though it had been for a while. The room was not ready and we had to wait which was curious because as far as we could tell there was only one other couple staying. The food was average and took a long time to serve. We did not like the room which was badly in need of updating. There was a general air of gloom about the place. So different from our previous experience. We left early the next day.

However we picked this hotel not Expert Africa so we only have ourselves to blame!" See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Brandberg White Lady Lodge"

1 night Arrived 17 Sep 2013
"Original room was dirty and very badly maintained. The windows were cracked and there were bare electrical connections visible. The whole place had a feeling of neglect. We complained and were offered a 'studio' room instead. This was better and acceptable.

Trip did not run due to lack of animals to see. Compensated by the cute meerkats around the pool.

The evening meal (buffet) was simple but good. The staff were friendly." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Brandberg White Lady Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 10 Jul 2011
"It it a great location at the foot of the Brandberg and the main building is a lovely lodge. We knew not to expect much, but chose the lodge as a convenient stop-over on our way to see the White Lady painting.

The rooms are basic, which we expected and did not mind, but staff were totally unfriendly (the only place during our trip where we felt that management just could not be bothered and staff therefore neither). The whole place looked unloved and uncared. There were caged animals both in the bar area and outside, which we did not appreciate.

It felt a shame that a potentially fab lodge was not performing to its full potential." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
