The lodge and chalets are in a stunning location, surrounded by high mountains with open plains in front. The communal area is very smart with free wifi and a passable... More

We arrived at the gates of Hoodia Desert Lodge and drove up the long drive to the lodge already in awe of the amazing scenery. When we stepped out of our 4x4, we received a very warm welcome from Thomas, the manager. He checked us in and showed us to our chalet. He was exuberant and clearly very passionate about... More

This is a stunning place to relax, with rock formations in the shape of animals and in fact anything that can be imagined. The more you sit on the verandah and enjoy a sun-downer, the more the mountains come to life. Good food and despite its location there is even a hint of internet as well. The surrounding trips on...

There are many positives and 2 negatives with the hoodia. Among the positives: great room with a/c, very good food, excellent hospitality. The workers were wonderful. A special word to the owner Thomas who was absolutely terrific and really helped me with his generosity. The 2 negatives are that the wifi runs slow but one must realize that you are... More

Thank you to Karina, David and the rest of the staff who made our 3 nights there so special and especially to Michael who's service was excellent. This guy... More

this lodge has been one of the best during our ttrip. (the other one was camp kipwee in damaraland. Great food, lovely accommodation (outside shower with view) and extra ordinary friendly people. Highly recommended.. Beautiful located in absolute wilderness, 20 minutes drive from entrance to sossusvlei national park. Only 12 chalets (24 guests)

Thomas and Henreza and their team delivered an exceptional service for our four night stay. From our arrival to our departure we were made to feel a part of the 'family'. Their dinners are exceptional, Michelin star quality and their breakfasts are fit for a king. It's not too far from Sesriem and the entry gates to the Sossusvlei Dunes.... More

We stayed two nights at Hoodia Desert Lodge and can recommend it highly. Great welcome from friendly staff, comfortable accommodation and excellent food. Best of all for us was the total peace and exceptional atmosphere of this unique wilderness. Make sure you choose a time when there is no moon to fully appreciate the wonder of the squillions of stars.... More
