"An Unexpected Oasis"
However, the accommodation was excellent, the chalets were huge and offered all the amenities one could wish for. The verandah was a real bonus and it was lovely being able to watch the springbok wander past at such close proximity. The food was more than adequate; plenty of it and a good variety of dishes were served. It definitely surpassed my expectations.
It was great being able to stay in the park itself; you really felt a part of it, rather than just visiting for the day." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
"Sossus Dune Lodge review"
The huts are on raised platforms and are surprisingly lovely with views over the open plain with the dunes in the distance.
The bar and sitting area are spacious; the pool very welcoming. The large dining room lacks atmosphere and can be very stuffy and hot. It is a shame you are not allowed to eat at the tables out on the deck surrounding the dining room.
The staff are efficient and most are friendly although a little reserved.." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
"Sossus Dune Lodge review"
Excellent rooms with desert views.
Welcoming & friendly staff.
They could have arranged to set off slightly earlier for sunrise & be at/near the top of the dunes at sunrise" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Sossus Dune Lodge for the dunes"
We had thought we would take a baloon flight over the dunes but the cost was prohibitive, our morning guide told us we should try a flight over the dunes, as this was less expensive, which we did and I can thoroughly recommend, we went as far as the coast, and for 5 of us it was approx £125 a head."

Seems such a shame as the location and rooms are wonderful. They have also built a lovely shaded area around the swimming pool.
No problem using credit card to pay." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia
"Sossus Dune Lodge review"
The food was great and the staff were helpful in giving us a packed breakfast the morning that we got up early to see sunrise. The staff were all very young and although very friendly and attentive they were perhaps lacking in knowledge slightly and when we asked questions about time of sunrise, best place to see sunrise etc nobody seemed to be able to answer our questions.
If the staff could perhaps be briefed on local knowledge (or indeed an information folder be put in the rooms) and this would perfect this otherwise great accommodation." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 6n in Zambia
"Sossus Dune Lodge review"
1. Check in
2. Not having enough 4x4's for the morning activity and they ended up renting a small vehicle which had to accommodate 6 of us - a party of 4 and us two and when your Clive's size of 6'4" this is not fun for him or anyone else
3. The Guide had been seconded from Fish River Canyon - we joined him on his second day and therefore we were given no guiding to speak of which was a real shame
4. Unable to accommodate us for an evening sundowner in the Dunes due to lack of vehicles
5. Breakfast in the dune was a very poor affair
6. Shaded area round the pool is not finished
7. Difficulty in them arranging a transfer for us on the morning of departure to get us to Sesriem Gate to meet the balloon transportation.
8. Only four wines were available from the list
It is great to be in Sossusvlei first to climb the dunes first but not worth the stay at this place." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
