Sossus Dune Lodge is on of the NWR lodges - as with all the state owned lodges, service and food do not quite measure up to the price, but Sossus is still on the high end. The chalets are beautiful and big, all have terraces with a view. Take a torch, though, the boardwalk to the restaurant is long and... More

Excellent lodge and the best location to see the sunrise and sunset on the dunes. Dune45 for sunset is a must. Big daddy is the nicest dune to visit. The bungalows are amazing although a bit far out of the restaurant. In the evening too dark to walk. Friendly staff and good meal and service. Highly recommended.

This is the second time we've stayed at Sossus Dune Lodge in a year, and it was, once again, wonderful. If given the chance, I will return again. The service is impeccable, the staff is friendly and professional, and the food is excellent. The rooms are exceptional, spotless, and really comfortable. Finally, if one of you're aims of visiting the... More

Two nights in this magnificent setting left us hungry for more. The lodges are strung out like pearls on a necklace along a raised path across the grassland bordering a stony hill, and within they are splendidly fitted in safari-style but comfortable furnishings. The main dining and lounge area is less inviting and looks like a refurb. is overdue; but... More

Staying here is a must if you want to see dawn and dusk in the park as the Gates dont open to the other resorts outside daylight hours. The setting and rooms are fantastic, but let down a little by the service and the suprising lack of knowledge about the park itself. We were left to work everything out for... More

We stayed 2 nights at this lodge. It is wonderfully located in the Sossusvlei area, with an incredible view on the Sesriem Canyon and the dune scenery. The view is not distracted by any signs of civilization, as e.g. the cars are parked behind rocks. Coming directly from Windhoek, the nature and the loneliness have been a great relaxing start...

The location within the park allows you to get to the dunes before, and stay after, everyone else. The rooms are very spacious and strung along an elevated duckboard path from the main buildings providing lounge and dining room. However the place seems run down - no deck chairs on the balcony and only 5 deck chairs (no cushions) to... More

The upside for this Lodge is the location within the park but TBH the 40 minute drive to the dunes from Hoodia Lodge was worth the extra comfort and food quality offered at Hoodia and on reflection I would have stayed longer at Hoodia and forgone the Sossus Dune Lodge! Personal choice. Sossus bungalows are large and airy. Too hot... More

Stayed in Sossus Dune Lodge on 6,7 April for 2 nights. Beautiful Lodge inside the park, friendly staff, good food as well. The room and bathroom are comfortable. We did the Sunset Dune 45 visit on our own the first day. It was very windy, so not easy to get to the top. We joined the Lodge organized Sunrise Tuor... More

Being situated inside the Namib-Naukluft is what makes this lodge really special. Because you are inside the park, you can leave before sunrise and watch the sunrise from the dunes (which are about a 45 minute drive on tarred road from the lodge itself). For this reason, I think this lodge is unmissable, truly one of a kind and an... More
