"Hoodia Desert Lodge review"
The stuff is fantastic you really feel like at home. A special thank you to Andreas. The cottages are also really impressive.
Great food and drinks in the evening. The sundawner was just incredible. We were alone on the top pf the hill with prepared drinks and table very confortable." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

The owner and manager, Thomas Becker, is warm, attentive and efficient, as are the staff.
Our guide for our trip to Sossusvlei, Lucas, requires a special mention as he has, in addition, a wealth of useful knowledge which greatly enhanced our experience." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Hoodia Desert Lodge review"
The rooms are well designed if a little lacking in storage space, with a large outside shower/bath area. The main lodge has a great terrace and pool area beside a small stream.
Meals are served in a dining area surrounding a central fire. There was a limited choice at dinner.
The manager/owner Thomas is very friendly and informative, and the staff are very good.
The sundowner experience is very enjoyable and the day’s excursion to Sossusvlei a must." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

The rooms were a little odd - there was a spectacular view which you couldn't really see when inside and the outdoor space looked over the parking spaces and other huts - could be better designed.
Sundowners were great - taken to a location with a great view, food, drinks and a fire, and then picked up once the sun had set." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

Great choice - took us to take pictures at the right time for the light games and just for the right points
Descending from the big daddy waited and took us for a sumptuous meal

"Spectacular experience on all levels!"
Our day tour to the dunes was excellent. Very knowledgeable guide that took us on a walking tour to look for animal tracks, had us hike up a dune and down into Deadvlie from a different route than all the other tourists so we got a unique perspective. The sundowner was a unique experience as well, unlike any other one we had before. Left atop a small mountain, with table, chairs, candles, drinks and food to enjoy the setting sun on the red dunes.
Highly recommend this lodge." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
