Reviews of Kwessi Dunes

"Kwessi Dunes camp is very comfortable, stylish and in a superb location. Amenities are excellent, food is plentiful, varied and very tasty.

The opportunity to sleep under the stars is a highlight and the night sky is awe inspiring. Unfortunately, the moon was a full moon when we stayed so it's too bright to see the full splendour of the night sky. Recommendation would to be check the moon phases to take this into account when scheduling.

Our guide Elias was very knowledgeable, professional and had a very sunny disposition which made our game drives and trip to the dunes even more enjoyable." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Kwessi Dunes is a luxury camp with spectacular views across the desert landscape.

Distance from the Sossusvlei dunes is relatively far but it is certainly worth the trip." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"We loved Kwessi Dunes. The setting in the desert is unreal, the lodge extremely comfortable, and the staff so helpful and kind.

Watching oryxes drinking at the waterhole while we were in the swimming pool was magical. We stayed over Christmas and really appreciated the extra effort the staff made to help us experience an African Christmas - lots of food, and African singing and dancing!

Our guide Papa-G took us to climb the highest dune at Sossusvlei, quad biking around Kwessi, as well as out on a couple of sundowner drives, and was so interesting and well-informed. We highly recommend a stay at Kwessi Dunes.

We stayed here at the start of our self-drive holiday which we think worked well, as we might not have been so excited about seeing oryxes or ostriches if we had come here after visiting the game reserves in the north of Namibia." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"After staying 3 nights I felt as if I were leaving family!

The most welcoming staff, all of whom went over and above to ensure my stay was perfect!

The lodge is beautiful, the meals outstanding, my accommodations were perfect! Bed and even the towels very comfy!

My guides were all friendly, knowledgeable and ensured I had a wonderful stay.

Can't wait to go back!" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"We didn't realise that on full board they catered from lunch on day of arrival, maybe worth pointing this out so people can take advantage.

Need a 4 wheel drive car to drive up to the lodge otherwise they come to collect you, we had a 4 wheel drive but maybe worth mentioning." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"The namib rand is one of the most beautiful places on earth and should not be missed.

Kwessi was lovely, and the rooms fantastic, although being just opened, was still working out some minor teething issues - in particular with regards to the on site activities. That said, this was still one of our favourite places.

Sleeping out under the stars with the milky way, watching the animals coming to the water hole with an epic backdrop and messing around in the surrounding apricot coloured dunes was a whole lot of fun.

Kwessi is also a good base for the ballooning over the desert and for a visit to sossusvlei itself" See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia

"Amazing views from the rooms at Kwessi Dunes, from the Oryx at the watering hole to the expansive desert beyond.

The rooms look quite new with a nice style including the furniture. In particular, there are two beds, one indoors and one outdoors, both dressed with sheets and pillows so you can take your pick as to whether you sleep indoors or under the stars. The outdoor shower is also just as good as the indoor shower.

Staff at Kwessi are very helpful, Roy the manager who greeted us was very accommodating to our needs such as food intolerances, and always checked up on us. Stanley, our tour guide, really appreciated us being there and was passionate about guiding.

Thanks to Roy (and Stanley) for the transport to our hot air balloon trip!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Excellent camp - great service and food. Quad biking through the dunes a highlight. Team was eager to please.

Rooms a bit too polished for our liking but sparkling clean and new.

2 nights was perfect." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
