What a fabulous place. We flew in to Windhoek from Maun and were impressed with the scenery immediately. We had a lovely overnight at the Olive Grove in Windhoek before flying to Sossusvlei. Wildlife on the runway made for an interesting landing and the we were whisked off to the wonderful Sossusvlef Desert Lodge. What a great place, the scenery... More

Visited in June on a self drive tour and would say this was my favourite lodge - the views from each room are spectacular. Mountains and petrified sand dune in the distance are amazing. Star gazing through the sky light above your bed is nice too. It rained on the first day of our trip and was cold so bring... More

This is the most decadent, amazing, wonderful, perfect place we have ever stayed, and will ever stay. Period. This lodge is extraordinary, and if you think all of the above is hyperbole, make a reservation here. You will know what I am talking about, and you will thank me. The setting is breathtaking. The rooms are comfortable *in the extreme*.... More

This was our 3rd visit to Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, and it remains to be one of the most spectacular experiences. The lodge, setting, service, and comfort are all exceptional. I wish to minimise the details of our stay, as part of the magical experience is to discover the many little surprises that AndBeyond offer. This is a MUST STAY for... More

Namibia was the first leg of the trip I was taking my husband on for his 40th Birthday. We were met at Windhoek airport arrivals and promptly introduced to our pilot Francois who was going to fly us (on our first ever small plane flight!), for the 1 hour 10 minute flight to the &Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge. And so... More

We had stayed in another of &Beyond's lodges (Vlei Lodge, Pindha) and so knew that the standards would be high. Even so, we were truly bowled over by the outstanding service and comfort of this remote lodge in the heart of a desert landscape that miraculously changes continuously with the progress of the sun. Ten freshly renovated lodges are strung... More

This is a very good lodge. The setting is amazing with incredible views across plains to hills and mountains beyond. There are 5 villas each side of a central lodge building, each of them identical. The facilities are very good and the service is of a very high standard. During our stay there was a resident astronomer who manned the... More

Without trying to sound like an employee of the lodge, let me give you my honest opinion. This was the best hotel/lodge I have ever been to. Just beautiful. There weren't many animals, but the sand dunes more than made up for it. Simply put, highly recommended. More

I believe that this was once known as the Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge. This name is more accurate --while it sits above a plain, it is more desert-like, and it is fairly close to the Sossusvlei dunes. I believe that there are about ten self-contained units, five on each side of the main building. We had two units for four of... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in July of 2011, and had a great time. Very different game viewing and unique chance to scale the red dunes. I would recommend to stay for 3 nights, as we managed to do all the activities in this time, but an extra night is not bad if you want to just chill out... More
