"Luxury in the wilderness"
Our tented lodges were beautiful, as were the lounge and restaurant. We'd recommend the private Sossusvlei whole day trip. Our guide was extremely knowlegdable and was able to follow the tracks of sidewinder snakes and white widow spiders to lead us to their burrows. He took us off the beaten track and away from the other tourists so we could properly experience the majestic solitude and quiet of the Namib/Naukluft Nattional Park.
The day ended with a picnic under a sprawling tree, we felt as though we'd stepped back in time and into the film 'Out of Africa' as our guide set up tables and chairs and cooled wine in a portable ice bucket." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Hoodia Desert Lodge review"
Extremely warm welcome and attentive and knowledgeable guide. The setting is superb.
Going into the National Park we were able to feel like we were not following the crowd and had a great walk in the dunes followed by a fabulous picnic." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
