While I enjoyed many things about our Namibian/South African honeymoon, Hoodia Lodge really is the oasis you are searching. It's not "close" (and the lines are too long) by USA standards to the front gate of Sesriem, so you will not make the sunrise at the dunes. But what you sacrifice by not being in the park by sunup, is... More

I’m finding it very hard to put in writing the words to express my joy, gratitude and overwhelming awe of everything we experienced in Sossusvlei and at Hoodia Lodge this past weekend. I know that catering for a group of 14 adults ( in drag) cannot be easy, yet you still managed to make my Namibian Dream everything I wished,... More

A beautiful spot to stay if you are visiting Sossusvlei. The previous year I stayed at a resort techincally inside the Park and this was much much nicer and more enjoyable. The thought is, being in the park you can be first to the dunes. That is overrated - no matter where you are, you simply cannot get to the... More

We loved this place . The lodge is very tastefully appointed and the hospitality exceptional. Food was way above anything we had during our stay in Namibia. I would highly recommend the morning drive to the dunes. Price may be off putting but it is worth every $. We loved taking lunch out in the desert under a shady tree.... More

We cannot wax lyrical enough about our stay at Hoodia. The lodge and it's location are beautiful, the staff/ management helpful and friendly, the food amazing. The atmoshpere is welcoming, relaxed, unpretentious. Our tented room was beautiful with a private outdoor bathroom offering amazing views while showering :) This Lodge is not cheap and we are not well off but... More

We had the best time and felt at home right from the minute we set foot on this beautiful property. Service: very friendly, helpful and attentive. Location: close to the dunes however still far away from everyone else in a breathtakingly beautiful spot. Interior: very tasteful modern ethnic design. Wherever you look, great attention to detail.

Welcomed with cold towels, the most fantastic location, beautiful views, rooms just as good with outdoor bath/ shower with those views... Food was OK, its the same throughout Namibia, places either serve the 1 menu or you don't eat and this was no different here, but other than that which is standard for the area, the place was a complete...

We've been back home now for two months and are still talking about what a great four days we had at Hoodia. Well placed for access to Sossusvlei Dunes and the surrounding desert. Quiet, understated elegance, superb food, top flight staff. 12 bungalows with all the necessary amenities. We were very lucky to have Angula as our guide. Charming, knowledgeable,... More

Loved our stay here - the accommodation is absolutely excellent. The "chalets" ?? are thatched buildings that have canvas walls to the bedroom area but the canvas is pulled so taut that they look like solid walls. They have proper windows and doors not canvas flaps, there is a porch out front of each building with a comfy bench to... More
