Great dune experience in a comfortable lodge
Excellent friendly staff. Very welcoming and very good food.
The camp is some way from the Sossusvlei area, but is certainly very comfortable.
Hoodia Desert Lodge review
Hoodia has a great location and is fairly modern.
We received an extensive welcome by the owner and he clearly takes great pride in his lodge. He spent time with every guest, greeted people back from their excursions and made sure service was to his standards.
The views are extensive and just sitting by our room looking over the dry river valley was enjoyable in itself. The lodge is well laid out and the food was good.
A small point, but being able to drive your vehicle right up to your room made everything very easy.
Hoodia Desert lodge. Excellent and friendly
We thought this lodge was the most professional of all the lodges we stayed at on this trip. It was also very friendly with great food and a comfortable room in a great location.
We enjoyed a romantic sunset sun downer trip on day of arrival.
We also took the lodges Sossusvlei excursion which managed to keep us away from the crowds. An example of this is we were arriving at dead vlei as the crowds were leaving.

Set against the edge of the mountains this lodge has a visually impressive location.
We were greeted on arrival by the super friendly and ever hard-working owner. We had a lovely cabin/tent of our own. The central lodge is an attractive building.
The staff is friendly and very hardworking. Very nice meals too. For our activity we took the day trip to Sossusvlei. They also gave us a nice bag lunch for the drive out.
Couldn't be better!
Hoodia Desert Lodge is lovely
Beautiful lodge, very well equipped and good food.
The only downside was lack of engagement from staff on our externally organised balloon safari. If I hadn't asked where I needed to be by when I wouldn't have known and was expecting to be picked up but we had to drive ourselves very early in the morning in the dark - so unsure of when we would get there. In the end it all worked but they could have been more forthcoming.
Hoodia Desert Lodge review
Luxurious accommodation – liked the outside shower!
Great terrace, with sundowner, looking at ‘The Lion’, carved in the mountain
Nice meals – very tender Springbok steak.
Interesting waterhole – good to watch the family of baboons.
Sundowner trip – good, but expensive for what it was.
Hoodia Desert Lodge Review
Quite simply superb. The best lodge on our holiday.
The rooms, the staff, the food, the location, the sundowners, the guides were all amazing.
Credit must go to Thomas and Henreza for creating the most amazingly friendly, welcoming and professionally run lodge.
We will definitely be back.
Hoodia Desert Lodge review
Another brilliant lodge. First impressions when approaching were not so good, but once there we were given a warm welcome. We were glad that we went to Sossevlie on the guided trip from the camp as the guide showed us so much more that we would ever have seen on our own. Once again the guides were very knowledgeable and made the trip so interesting.
