🤎🇳🇦 Rating my stay at @deadvalleylodge in Sesriem, Namibia 🇳🇦🤎
If you are planning to visit Sossusvlei/Deadvlei, SAVE this post!
📍LOCATION: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Located just inside the Sesriem Outer Gate (which is KEY if you want to visit Sossusvlei at sunrise or sunset), this lodge gives you the perfect base. If you arrive on the GO2 Shuttle (like I did), they will pick you up at the Sesriem shuttle stop. If you are heading to the dunes/Deadvlei, note that it takes about an hour to get from the inner gate to Sossusvlei. So you will either need to book a tour or bring your own vehicle (parking available onsite).
🖼️ DECOR/AESTHETIC: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I fell in love with the property at first sight! I was walking around telling the staff, “It’s so aesthetic!” While taking pictures of everything. Lol
🛏️ ROOMS: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Have you ever stayed in a tented chalet?? (Side Note: Isn’t it just fun to say “tented chalet”? 🤭) The chalets are comfortable, luxurious, with A/C and a private bath suite. I rated the room a 4.5 solely because there were no international plug outlets/adapters (which I could/should have brought myself, but I’m unwilling to take accountability lol).
🧍🏾♂️🧍🏾♀️ STAFF: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would give them 10 stars if I could! From reception, to the restaurant, to the tour guides, everyone went above and beyond to ensure I had an incredible stay. I had two big asks: (1) to celebrate my birthday! 🎂 and (2) to visit Deadvlei at sunrise. 🌅 At dinner, the team sang me Happy Birthday and brought out a GIGANTIC cake. And when no other guests signed up for the sunrise dune tour (there is a 3 guest minimum), they hooked me up with nearby @nwrinsta so I could make my desert dune dreams come true! 🏜️💃🏾
💰 VALUE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I paid $292 USD for a one-night stay. This included round-trip transfer to the shuttle stop and all my meals.

Our favorite stay in Namibia! Comfortable, spacious cabins in an incredibly beautiful landscape. The staff members were great, the star-gazing amazing and they offered a delicious self-bbq menu that we had a blast making one evening. You will not be disappointed booking this place!

Location is very convenient - about 30 minutes from the gate. The cottages small, but very nice. The view from the cottage was unbelievable. I would recommend 100%

The room was clean and very spacious and comfortable and it was a bonus to have the mosquito net. Dinner and Breakfast at the facility were very good but the one packed breakfast we requested could have been better. We enjoyed the lovely pool area. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I like NWR staff here more than Etosha.
I like NWR staff here more than Etosha. They are naturally friendly and explain detail of the park rules, how to do everthing right.
Dead valley is gorgeous. They are some hidden place near dead valley to see gemsbox on red desert sand. If your rent 4x4 and known how to drive on soft sand, go past the dead valley parking spot, it will have trees for lunch and walk about 1km to see gemsbox walking, eating, sleeping

What a beautiful place my goodness. So much to do in the area - we would have definitely stayed longer to try out the different activities. Climbing the dunes at Sossusvlei was honestly the best day. It was beautiful and I can’t wait to be back!

It was busy but still private enough not to spoil the overnight stay. The staff were very helpful in the shop. It was useful to have the fuel station as well. The supplies in the shop were adequate for the overnight stay and the location was convenient for Sossusvlei. The drive into Sossusvlei was fine but very crowded when we got to Deadvlei. Well worth a visit though.
