"Faultless stepping stone for the dunes"
"Sossus Dune Lodge review"
The lodge is a good location inside the park.The actual chalet was a bit of trek from main facilities; be sure to ask for a chalet closer but not to close. Otherwise very nice." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Brilliant place- impo inside the nationalpark"
We were there for both and both times were very memorably helped on the dawn trip by an excellent guide - even gave us a 15 min lecture on the stars before we set off.
Importantly it was cool too - we felt sorry for the tourists arriving at 9.00 a.m. to climb Big Daddy when the temperature must have already been 30 degrees.
The Lodge itself was comfortable if not luxurious. But service was good, pool fine and food tasty." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Did not visit"
"Sossus Dune Lodge review"
Quality and service close to privately-owned lodges. Comfortable, generous chalets.
While the dunes are the thing, Sesriem Canyon at the Lodge's entrance is not to be overlooked." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"The best location in Sossus"
The highlight of our stay though was the dawn trip to the dunes with alfresco breakfast beneath the "Big Mamma" dune. Our guide Sammy, was excellent and we were lucky to witness a partial eclipse sunrise from "Big Daddy", an unforgettable experience." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Sossus Dune Lodge - great location"
You can also climb a dune to watch the sunset without worrying about getting to the park gate before closing time. Unfortunately it was quite cloudy and windy when we were there, but we still enjoyed the early morning trip to Big Daddy and Dead Vlei and the picnic breakfast." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
"Great location and lodge"
A couple of gripes, our lodge was right at the end of the walkway, which made it a good 5 minute walk from the breakfast room and our safe was broken so we had to lug our valuables around everywhere. There was also a mix up with our evening meal where Expert Africa had written down that we had paid for DBB but Sossus Dune Lodge only had us down for breakfast so it was an unexpected expense.
The pool was lovely and looked idyllic but again a bit too cold for us!" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
