Desert Camp

Non si può chiedere di più a una struttura che è a soli 3 km da uno dei posti più belli del mondo. Guardare il cielo stellato prima di andare a dormire con solo due volpi a scrutarti. Personale alla reception e al bar accogliete e simpatico. Per la cena si può optare nel fai da te (angolo cottura e barbecue, frigo tutto arredato da stoviglie, pentole e bicchieri), nel self catering o andando nel vicino Desert Lodge che con circa 20 € si attingere ai tavoli del buffet con piatti caldi cucinati al momento su richiesta specifica.

Bungalow war geräumig und sauber.

the location is perfect for visiting sossusvlei, 5 minutes from the entrance of the park. the rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. could use a little renovation but overall is a good place. the cabins are distant from each other, that guarantees peace and privacy. the staff is nice and friendly. dinner at sossusvlei lodge is good. the view of the mountains at sunrise and sunset is priceless!

I found this lodge a bit expensive for what it offers. There’s no restaurant on-site, which means you have to pay extra for transfers just to get a meal. The cleaning in my room wasn’t properly done — when I swept the floor upon arrival, I found a lot of sand and dust. That’s pretty disappointing. The very least they could do is sweep and refresh the towels before each new guest arrives. As for their partner, Sossulvei Lodge / Adventure Camp — a nightmare. They couldn’t handle the fact that I canceled some of the meals (which is fair, I’m not going to eat three all-you-can-eat buffets a day!). So they “punish” you by “forgetting” to pick you up, and when you complain, they say, “Well, you canceled the other day.” Uh, yes… I still have the right to do what I want on my vacation, don’t I? But no — they want you to spend your money without questioning anything. They practice a kind of exploitative tourism, clearly designed to milk wealthy white Western tourists, which I am not! And if you refuse to play the fool, they exclude you.

had a lovely stay at Desert Camp. Everything was super clean. The rooms are very spacious with a wonderful bathroom. The outside kitchen is fabulous with an incredible view of the mountains. They offer, at no cost, a box of kitchen utensils that has everything you would ever want (including a cast iron pan!)
