We stayed one night at the Sossusvlei Lodge (Taleni Africa), which was brilliant! The rooms were lovely and the aircon heavenly. Food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious. Wish I could go back for more! Next night we spent at the Desert Camp. Less luxurious, but good value. I loved sitting on the stoep in front of our tent/house watching... More

We spent 2 nights there and wished for more. Beautiful accommodation! Swimming in the pool with an amazing view, drinking beer and then great trip to Sossusvlei. The best accommodation we had in Namibia! More

Let me start by saying we loved, loved desert camp. the view of the mountains with an amazing sunset with a black back jackal staring at us will stay with me. I would have given this place 5 stars if not for the horrible reception we encountered. We arrived to find the camp empty as there was an electrcal strike... More

We loved this camp! The rooms were clean and comfortable - and plenty spacious. Location to Sossusvlei was perfect. We would stay here again. More

It would be easy to read the rave reviews on this site and go into the camp with high expectations slightly disappointed. And honestly, at first, I was slightly disappointed. However, as a budget option (that isn't really that cheap), it was a great option. The camp is very clean and simple. True, the tents are a little 'clustered' given... More

This lodge with 20 semi-luxury tents sits in the middle of the desert with views to the surrounding area. It is located about 5 kms from the main entrance gate at Sesriem. The tents are roomy and confortable, but can be cold at night. Each tent has a firepit, stove and kitchen area for preparing meals and a set of... More

First reaction: $150 a night for a glorified tent in the middle of nowhere? Then the genius loci slowly sinks it: they provide you with all you need, without isolating you too much from the surroundings. For example, most of the walls are canvas - but not the bathroom. It's very pretty there, the colors when the sun is low,... More

Lovely place, amazing views and very friendly staff!! Absolutely the best self-catering place we experienced in Namibia! Both nights we stayed there we had a braai on the veranda with fresh meat we ordered off a list at their reception (a HUGE plus point as we were running low on the stock we brought with and we ordered the most...

This is what I call camping! The beds were very comfortable and we had the best buffet meal of our entire Namibia trip at the nearby Sossusvlei Lodge, candlelight dinner outdoors and wonderful range of game on offer. The bar was a bit noisy but it didn't bother us too much. Very practical for visiting the sand dunes the next... More

The location is great, the views from the tents across the grassland are amazing and the little bar/pool area is lovely (although the pool is very very small, more of a water feature but ok for kids to cool off , I guess). The tents are amazingly comfortable and sturdy, it feels more like staying in a nice hotel room... More
