Desert Hills Lodge is a great choice to visit Deavlei, although its a half hour drive to reach the gate of Sossuslvlei. The rooms had breathtaking views especially during the sunset. Luxurious bathroom and comfy bedroom promising a top notch stay.

The staff were an absolute stand out, particularly Belinda - they all went out of their way to assist their guests. The rooms were very comfortable and the Lodge is about a 45 minute drive to the Sesriem Gates of the Sossusvlei national park. Breakfast and dinner were included and for a special experience, we were treated to some entertainment by the staff after dinner one night. We were sorry that we had to leave!
Surrounded by granite outcrops and with stunning views and roaming wildlife, Desert Quiver Camp offers modern self-catering accommodation, located just 5 km away from the entrance gate to Sossusvlei....

We liked specifically the outdoor kitchen and doing our little braai there. the location is superb, with the desert as your front yard. When we were there it was full moon, so the images were magic. We also recommand Desert Quiver Camp because it is the closest accomodation (apart from the Sossoudvlei Lodge) to the national park entry. so you don't need to drive during the dark over gravel road to be there at sunrise, as strongly advised!!! As it is so close you can even relax inbetween two visits to the park on one day.... we would love to stay here again.
Le Mirage Resort & Spa is a unique desert oasis located 100 km from Solitaire, Namibia. It offers luxury accommodation and gourmet dining.

What a unique experience to be able to stay in luxury in the middle of a desert with animals at the waterhole for company and attentive staff such as Dezeree (sorry if I spelt your name wrong…. But the page I wrote it on blew away into the desert!!! true story 😊) and of course Nelson……excellent customer service with a smile. Our room was spacious, even with room for a child’s bed! But lighting for finding your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night could be improved as could instructions for the safe….both minor issues. The food was delicious, and wines were reasonably priced, both amazing, considering the remote location. The finishing touch on our last night was the sound of the animals outside, that we could hear, but were not quite able to see, munching on the food left out for them by the staff….a lasting memory. Thinking about staying @ Le Mirage….just book it….you will have a wonderful unique experience!

The location was wonderful. All rooms have an unobstructed view to the beautiful landscape. The common areas are spacious and beautiful and perfect for relaxation.
The staff was tremendous. The food was top notch.
We booked a guided Sossusvlei tour, and we felt incredibly lucky to have such a knowledgeable and service minded guide as Natangwe. He really made our experience mind blowing and fun. We considered doing a self drive, but are glad we decided to go on a guided tour.
I went for a sunset horse ride as a total beginner. Thanks to the great horse trainer and TK who arranged the sunset experience (and the fact that I was the only one attending) this became another highlight of the stay.
It is about 30 minutes from the gate. This turned out to be no problem at all.
Situated just 22 km from Duwisib Castle, At Kronenhof Campsites provides accommodation in Sesriem with access to a terrace, a bar, as well as full-day security.

We stayed at the Desert Camp, not far from the park entrance gate. It was an easy drive to the park, and the 60km of wonderful tarred road to the 2 wheel drive car park. This gives access to Dig Daddy dune and Deadvlei.
From here the park vehicle took us to Big Momma dune, and also goes to Hidden Vlei. All very easy.
Dune 45 is 45 km along the road. The bus cost 180 Namibian dollars in October 2023. Wear runners to climb the dunes and walk to Deadvlei. Har, sunglasses and water are essential. We ate at the restaurant inside the park gate. Good and affordable. We bought our water at the shop there. Breakfast at the Sossusvlei Lodge was good too.
I would recommend paying extra for tyre and glass insurance when picking up your rental car. Prior to coming to Sesriem, we had a flat tyre far from anywhere and Hertz directed us to a lodge with tyre repair services. We had to go on to Outjo to get the fixed tyre replaced, but the insurance made it less of a concern.

Best place to experience the oldest desert on earth.
Best place to experience the oldest desert on earth. Wonderful place to spend time with. At least you need to stay 1 night inside park to make sure that you can go to Deadvlei early in the moring. Take photos with shade of light. Hiking at Daddy dune in the morning and slide down to deadvlei.

Sesriem is an oasis in the desert and everything is well organized but basic. Prepare well before you go. The cleanliness of the entire area is remarkable. The Namibian people are very friendly and helpful - don't be shy to ask for advice.

I loved the dunes, but we should have got there a bit earlier in the day for the best photographic opportunities. We stayed at We Kebi Lodge which was exceptional value for money, and I would have loved to stay there for a longer stay.

The road in from Mariental (273Km) and out to Walvis Bay (315 Km) were sand/gravel, and in a poor shape for large portions. Other than that it was a great stay. 2 nights should be a minimum with at least one day to frolic in the dunes.

Accommodation in and around Sesriem and Sossusvlei is...
Accommodation in and around Sesriem and Sossusvlei is slightly on the expensive side for locals and South Africans. However, it is one of those things that you have to see and experience should you be able to travel the gravel roads of this vast country.
Incredible hotel!! It is located inside a reserve where 5 white rhino, zebras, oryx, wildebeest and more roam freely! I've never been so close to wild animals! The hotel boasts a stunning outdoor pool and sundecks to observe the animals from. The staff is SO NICE and attentive, and the food they cook is amazing. Each bungalow has an en-suite bathroom, and is clean and well kept.
Great place to stay if you are visiting Sesriem. The rooms are simple but very clean and comfortable to accommodate a family with kids.
The staff is excellent and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay (kudos specially to Paul on this).
Food is also very good and quality and the kitchen staff make sure all your dietary requirements are considered.
+ Our room/cottage was very spacious
+ Area outside of our room was just for us, well equipped for BBQ.
+ We can imagine spending multiple days here
+ Nearby Sossusvlei Lodge offers great adventures (helicopter flight, trips...)
+ Sossusvlei Lodge also covers meals for guests. Everything is smoothly connected. We just had to state our room number
What a fantastic experience that was. You are treated like a king from start to finish. The Hotel Manager has created a superb atmosphere with all the staff. The facilities are greatly located.
I can only highly spoke of everyone looking after us during our stay/
A special thank you to our guide Paolo who made our desert tour extraordinary.
This hotel is the best hotel I've ever stayed. Staffs were really kind and food was amazing. Near water holes, you can see oryx and it's really lovely. The hotel was very clean. We did quad bike tour to see sunrise. The senery was so beautiful and we made a good memory. If I travel to Namibia, I definitely choose this hotel again.
The location and sunset is awesome ! Hermann who is doing the tour is the perfect person to go with at the dunes, sesriem and deadvlei ! we did as well a game drive wirh hermann is was superbe ! The location is great, staff very smilly and friendly !
Very clean as well ! and great diner !
Everything was perfect. From check in to check out the service and staff were wonderful. Lovely view from the room, comfortable, peaceful, great food and the Gemsbok. 40 mins drive to Sesriem gate. Well worth it to see the dunes. Don't forget Deadvlie and Sesriem Canyon.
Perfect location for visiting Sossusvlei (btw don't miss Sesriem Canyon!). Well equipped tent style cottages for campers and those who would like to be (but don't want to miss air conditioning and a shower). Great brai-delivery service. Very friendly and helpful staff.
The staff went out of their way to provide a good experience. Quaint and interesting decorations on the property. Rooms were very private. Food excellent. We were provided with a brunch packet so that we could leave very early to drive to Sesriem for the day.
A very nice place with nice swimming pool to have a drink! Dinner @ Sossusvlei Lodge was really great (food and place): dinner under the stars! :) Perfect location as only few kilometers from the gate.
Oasis in the desert, close to Sesriem. Beautiful castle style with pool area, amazing views, bonfire evenings and a waterhole where to see some animals. Clean and well maintained, and friendly staff.
The big tent has comfprtable beds. The stuff is kind and the dinner included in the price was very good, abundant and served with class. The location is about 1h from the gate of Sesriem.
Close enough to Sesriem. Nice bungalows and incredible views of the desert and awesome dark skies for stargazing. Good restaurant and friendly staff. There is a small pool.
The location is perfect. Minutes away from the Sossusvlei/Sesriem gate. Also close to the fuel station and shop and also close to the main lodge where you can have meals.
We had a fantastic stay. Everyone was super helpful, and the tour provided by the hotel was exceptional. Perfect for a romantic weekend. Definitely would come back.
You have a choice between breakfast in the hotel and breakfast "to go". If you have time, choose the former - the spread is great, and views are amazing.
