Lodges in Sesriem

The view from front rooms is very nice! The rooms very clean and the staff is amazing! They made celebrating new years amazing even though it posted rain!

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.

🤎🇳🇦 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.

The food and property were stunning. The accommodation was really nice and the staff were excellent. The dinners were better than the Michelin Star places we’ve eaten at in Europe. The walks were beautiful.

The room and bed are spacious and clean. Very nice view.
