Spitzkoppen Lodge

This is a beautiful place and well worth the money Tip All the buildings need to be removed in 22 years so everything is modular But it’s still very special Food / cleanliness / staff - nothing to fault The area is enclosed so you can walk safely ( zebras run freely ) Sunsets are amazing

I booked Spitzkoppen Lodge after seeing glowing reviews from influencers, but unfortunately, I felt the price didn’t match the value provided. While the setting was undeniably stunning, the overall experience fell short of expectations. The welcome was brief, with little information provided about the lodge’s activities unless I asked directly, and there weren’t many options available. We stayed for one night and two days, which felt sufficient. The restaurant staff was professional, but the food was average—our springbok dish was disappointingly dry. The rooms were clean but lacked air conditioning, making the daytime heat almost unbearable. Additionally, there’s no WiFi in the rooms—only in the restaurant/reception area—and the rooms are a 5-10 minute walk away. The starry night sky was a highlight, but we couldn’t see the Milky Way due to both overcast weather and the moon’s brightness—something to check before your visit. Activities didn’t feel worth the cost. The lodge’s bushman paintings tour departs at 4:30 PM, which we missed. Instead, we visited on our own and tipped a guide at the entrance for a quick 10-minute tour. When we inquired about the sundowner activity, we were advised it wouldn’t offer much beyond the views from the drive into the resort. In December, wildlife was sparse—we only spotted a few zebras. The heat also limits activities to early morning or late evening. While the location has its charm, the lack of convenience and value left me underwhelmed.

The lodge is located at the foot of peak Spitzkoppe which is approx 1700 meter high. The lodge is in reserved park and has a good infrastructure built with tune with ecology and landscape. Bushman’s visit revealed some rock paintings and the highlight was the stone Arch, one of the most photographed object in Namibia. The staff was extremely helpful and efficient and took good care of the guests. Only negative item was the weather, since the tented residences are not aircooled or airconditioned, it was very very hot in the tents. However the lounge which has almost always cross ventilation and we spent the afternoons in the lounge

Just one world Wonderful!!!

One of the most beautiful lodge I stayed in my trips in Namibia. Our chalet was very nice with a lovely view on the mountains. Landscape is stunning. The chalets are set close to the strange rocks around. Restaurant is very good, we had all meals there, it is fine dining style. Staff is very kind, it was a pleasure to talk to the ladies at restaurant. We had the complimentary drive for 2-night stayers and enjoyed it very much thanks to our guide Petrus. It was a very good choice to spend there 2 nights so we could have the lodge drive, self-drive and a walk.
