Uitstekend, maar wantrou gaste want hul het 'n finansiële stelsel wat nog nie heeltemal in die 21ste eeu is nie.

Verblyf se ligging en restaurant is baie goed, personeel uitstekend en vriendelik, insluitend ontvangs. Wanneer dit egter by die betaling van ekstra kostes kom en die stelsel werk nie, word jy egter 'n gyselaar van 'n gierige stelsel wat gaste, wat verkies om nie met baie kontant ophand te reis nie, wantrou en geen alternatief kan voorstel nie. Jy moet as gas op 'n stukkende selfoon en op 'n onstabiele WiFi met 'n toepassing wat probleme het en byvoorbeeld nie deur my Sweedse medereisiger se bank aanvaar word nie, probeer betaal. Dit is darem al 2023 en organisasies moet vir sulke gebeurlikheid beplan!

Excellent, but mistrust guests because they have a financial system that is not quite in the 21st century.

Accommodation's location and restaurant are very good, staff excellent and friendly, including reception. However, when it comes to paying extra charges and the system doesn't work, you become a hostage to a greedy system that guests, who prefer not to travel with a lot of cash on hand, distrust and can't imagine any alternative. You have to try to pay as a guest on a broken cell phone and on an unstable WiFi with an app that has problems and is not accepted by my Swedish fellow traveler's bank, for example. At least it is already 2023 and organizations must plan for such an eventuality!

Nommerpas tent akkommodasie neffens Sossusvlei.

Heerlike goed-toeruste 'glamping' tente in 'n pragtige omgewing. Hier skort niks! Tent uitleg verseker oorgenoeg privaatheid. Ons kom weer!

Awesome.

Baie lekker gebly en baie baie bederf met al die gemsbokke wat sommer voor jou deur lê. Swembad was lekker. Kos was lekker en net om die draai staan 'n pienk yskas in die middel van die woestyn met water en koeldranke! Sal beslis die plek aanbeveel vir enige tipe reisiger.

Ongestoorde rustigheid van die Namib op sy beste.

Ons was in die tent-akkommodasie. Dit is 'n ent weg van die lodge en baie privaat, baie ruim vir 2 persone en ook heel ruim as daar 2 kinders by is. Skottelgoed is van hoë gehalte en braaigeriewe is ok, geboude braai sal beter wees. Badkamer is baie lekker groot met goeie waterdruk en lekker warm water, genoeg stoorplek vir tasse. Ons het eers laat op ‘n April-namiddag ingeboek en hitte was nie 'n probleem nie, maar op warm somersdae sal die tent warm wees. Daar is wel 'n lugreëlaar in wat sal help. By die lodge is dit pragtig met 2 swembaddens en baie sitplek. Ons het slegs ontbyt geëet, dit was lekker maar duur teen R200 per persoon. Ons sien uit om weer te gaan.

Undisturbed tranquility of the Namib at its best.

We were in the tent accommodation. It is a bit away from the lodge and very private, very spacious for 2 people and also very spacious if there are 2 children. Dishes are of high quality and braai facilities are ok, built braai would be better. Bathroom is very nice and big with good water pressure and nice hot water, enough storage space for suitcases. We only checked in late on an April afternoon and heat was not a problem, but on hot summer days the tent will be hot. There is an air conditioner in there though which will help. At the lodge it is beautiful with 2 swimming pools and plenty of seating. We only ate breakfast, it was tasty but expensive at R200 per person. We look forward to going again.

Wonderful and friendly service from the staff. Awesome swimming pools after a hectic days travel. Camp2Go highly recommended.

Awesome lodge. Camp2Go was really fantastic. Oryx grazing in front of our tent every morning. Very welcoming swimming pool with a cold glass of wine. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Best experience we had in Nambia, courtesy of the Namib Desert Lodge's staff and management team.

Beautiful place, professional and care taking staff, great food, awesome backdrop of fossilised dunes with biking and hiking trails to live dunes, highly recommended. We stayed for 3 nights with family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids), place is kid friendly, though bit of a drive from Sossusvlei, but experience to stay next to fossilised dunes and hiking there, you won't get if staying next to camps near Sossusvlei.

Alle verwagtinge oortref!

Ek en drie vriende het 'n toer deur Namibië gedoen, waarvan Namib Desert Lodge ons eerste verblyf was. Ons het in die Camping2Go (tenthuise) gebly en al ons verwagtinge was oortref! Die plekkie is uitgerus met alles wat jou hart kan begeer en nog meer - van 'n werkende yskas, volledige badkamer, 'n braaiplek en alle gereedskap waarvan jy kan droom - selfs 'n potjie indien jy sou wou potjiekos maak! Jy is ver genoeg geleë vir privaatheid en 'n onbelemmerde uitsig, tog naby genoeg om van hul fasiliteite gebruik te maak indien jy by hul eetsaal wil eet of by een van hul swembaddens wil uitspan na jy die Sossusvlei duine uitgeklim het. Namib Desert Lodge is dalk meer gemik op buitelandse gaste, maar die Camping2Go is uitstekende waarde vir geld vir Suid-Afrikaners (of Namibiërs) wat deur die land wil toer en 'n kamp-effek wil beleef sonder om hul eie kamptoerusting saam te ry (met die gerief van 'n volledige badkamer!) Ek het als vooruit betaal deur die webtuiste, dus was die inboek- en uitboekproses gemaklik en vinnig. Daar is nie juis winkels in die omgewing nie so alle spys en drank moet saamgeneem word (koffie en tee inkluis), asook jou eie braaihout. Dit sal ons beslis bybly as 'n hoogtepunt van ons trip!

Exceeded all expectations!

Three friends and I did a tour of Namibia, of which Namib Desert Lodge was our first stay. We stayed in the Camping2Go (tent houses) and all our expectations were exceeded! The place is equipped with everything your heart could desire and more - from a working fridge, full bathroom, a braai area and all the utensils you could dream of - even a pot if you wanted to make potjie food! You are located far enough for privacy and an unobstructed view, yet close enough to make use of their facilities if you want to eat at their dining hall or stretch out at one of their swimming pools after climbing the Sossusvlei dunes. Namib Desert Lodge may be aimed more at foreign guests, but the Camping2Go is excellent value for money for South Africans (or Namibians) who want to tour the country and experience a camping effect without lugging their own camping equipment ( with the convenience of a full bathroom!) I paid in advance through the website, so the check-in and check-out process was comfortable and quick. There aren't really any shops in the area, so all food and drink must be taken with you (coffee and tea included), as well as your own braai wood. It will definitely stay with us as a highlight of our trip!
