Hotels near Dune 45 Sossusvlei, Sesriem

We loved staying here! It’s a real oasis in the desert. The room was spacious and beautiful and the meals were really good. It was hard to believe they had a lush garden (lawn even!) and pool out here in the middle of nowhere. The staff were very friendly too. We wished we could have stayed longer but they were fully booked. The road to it is pretty bad, which makes it even more exciting to arrive. A great base to go to Sesriem and Sossusvlei.

If you're looking for the perfect Sossusvlei camping experience, then look no further than the Sossus Oasis Camp Site. It is located just outside the Sesriem Gate, making Sossusvlei extremely accessible, and the campsite almost feels like a desert fairy-tale that definitely should be at the top of your list. Each of the private campsites are like their own mini oasis with each having a rustic yet beautiful private ablution, kitchenette, and ”braai” (BBQ) area. The campsites are spacious and are suitable for tents, bush-wagons and caravans alike; even including a paved roof-covered area providing some reprieve from the sun. Each site is strategically positioned to face the desert (some better than others) ensuring all guests have beautiful views and the best seats in the house for unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. It isn't just the private campsites that make the campsite so special. They have a refreshing swimming pool for you to cool off at as well as the Sossus Oasis (reviewed separately) nearby which serves as a fuel station, convenience store and check-in area for the campsite. Keep in mind that wildlife are able to roam freely, and we were lucky enough to see Oryx as well as a Fennec Fox nearby our site. Also watch out for the jackals, especially in the evenings, as they're notorious bin raiders. I recommend you secure yours with heavy rocks to avoid any surprises. Camping at the Sossus Oasis Camp Site was an unforgettable experience, and I will most definitely be back if I ever have the opportunity of visiting Sossusvlei again!

This very well managed snd run lodge was the highlight of our stay in Namibia. After 5 days of camping we stayed here for 2 nights. We can highly recommend this lodge. Great food, amazing rooms and the best staff we have encountered so far.

The room was clean and tidy, the dinner was plentiful, and the environment was special and exceeded expectations. The only shortcoming is that there is a Bar signal, there is no Wi-Fi in the room, no signal, and occasionally a text message can be sent for a few minutes, equivalent to the network disconnected. The bar was closed at ninety in the evening. But there is no signal in the Red Desert Scenic Area or even on the road. The wind was blowing at night, and the sand hit the glass door, and there was a little sound. Special thanks to Trip.com customer service, I used the default date when I placed the order. After payment, I found an error and communicated with Trip.com. The customer service was very active in contacting the local agent and helped me change to the date of the next day for free.

The quiver camp rooms are very spacious with effective air con. They are nicely decorated and very up together. Modern bathroom facilities, super comfy bed and a sofa to sit on. The kitchen area is fine although the utensil boxes were a bit basic and had things missing. The breakfast is raken at the Sossusvlei lodge 3km down the road which was excellent. The receptionist was very charming and helpful. Areas for potential improvement include some cold water in the fridge, this would have been appreciated at the end of a long hot day on arrival but the biggest issue we noted was the lack of umberellas around the pool. There were 3 which were quickly taken, meaning 5 other people sat huddled in the shade of the bar and couldn't make use of the remaining sun loungers by the pool. I heard them muttering and unhappy and felt slightly guilty under the shade of mine. All in all a very good stay.
