"Brandberg White Lady Lodge review"
"Useful desert stopover "
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"
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"
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

"A long way to travel to see nothing!"
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"
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"
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
