Stayed for two nights in August. What a waste of money. Our guidebook specifically called this property out as a place to stay where pre-dawn transfers were allowed into the park to make sunrise at Sossusvlei. Not the case at all. The lodge is not inside the gate, which does not open until sunrise and it is a 65km drive... more

Stayed for two nights late May. Our room is spacious and clean, there is no complaint. The food was nice, mainly consists of game meat, although it can get tired if you have already spent some time around the country and have had enough of games. The staff is in general friendly. But the best part in my opinion is... more

Wonderful location at the front gates to sossusvlei reserve but if you're there in summer/spring you won't be able to get to the dunes by sunrise, maybe this will be different in the winter. Food was brilliant!! The pool could be a little bigger and with less Germans. There are a lot of tour groups to this lodge so prepared... more

Located right at the gates to the dunes park which ensures no extra travelling after what will be an already early start for the sunrise drive. Hotel Reception will organise a breakfast hamper, complete with cutlery, tea & coffee flasks, fruit, cheese, ham & tablecloth, to take out on the road to eat at your leisure rather than a hurried... more

We loved our recent stay at Sussusvlei, from the minute we arrived. After a long, sweltering journey along miles of dusty gravel roads, we really appreciated the warm welcome and the delicious cool drinks that were brought to us. We were given a helpful introduction to the lodge and a quick tour, and then taken to our "tent" rooms -... more

It is a nice lodge close to the park. Rooms are ok (no airconditioning) clean. Food is average for this kind of a lodge. more

The generally positive reviews of this lodge are spot on. It is a very good place. The "tent-style" room was well appointed. It was not a tent in the strict sense, as the bathroom, foyer and verandah areas consist of a free-standing cement structure, with a canvas sleeping area in between. But, given how much I dislike camping, I was... more

Some guide books say "You'll either love this place or hate it" and I was glad to find that we loved it! As others have said the hotel is located right next to the park gates and fuel station in Sesriem allowing you to be dune bound straight after sunrise. Although the hotel is of a fair size our room... more

Sossusvlei lodge is the closest lodge to the park and therefore ideally placed to get in and see the dunes before the heat becomes intense, The chalet tents are very comfortable and the food was excellent. There are jackels outside which come up to the perimeter wall when you are eating dinner Al fresco, but they cannot get near to... more
