amazing weekend in the desert.

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!)

Tolle Unterkunft

Tolle Unterkunft, super Lage. Wir können das BBQ Paket nur empfehlen. Auch dass man die Geschirrbox abholen und eine Kaution hinterlegen muss, ist vollkommen in Ordnung. So kann sichergestellt werden, dass man eine vollständige Ausstattung hat. Das Internet an der Bar und am Pool funktioniert ganz gut. Die Hütten bieten alles was man braucht.

Peace and tranquility.

Spectacular views and comfortable beds. Outside cooking and bbq area. Pool by the bar and ice cold beer. 5 minutes from gate to Sossusvlei. Of the two camps, this is the one with better views.

Excellent value. Staff were very helpful. Please note that although I haven’t given the highest grades for cleanliness or condition, I have given grades that are the next highest level and one has to recognize that this is due to the location being alongside a desert/dune area where sand blows in the wind and thus it would be virtually impossible to expect a higher score in such circumstances. I really enjoyed this stay; you are on the edge of the desert and feel at one with the surroundings,

Good location

Great location, very close to the park entrance (4 km). Food options were great but you’ll need to drive to the other resort for their restaurant which is close to park entrance.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This property was in the middle of the desert and had amazing views. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The accomodation itself was very basic and not in any way fitting with the price tag. Beds were old and in need of replacing. Floor was very dirty. Accomodation close by was much better.

Enjoyed it

Great self catering option in the area. Good service, clean place, air conditioning in the desert. Really enjoyed the braii and that you could pre-order food to be delivered to your room for cooking. Made meals perfect. Only improvement I could say is to bridge the beds together a little better. We stayed at several other places that joined the two mattresses much more seamlessly. At least have one duvet/linens when joining them for couples.

The mountain view from each chalet’s porch area is amazing! There is a lighted waterhole for oryx viewing. Each chalet has it’s own outdoor kitchenette with hotplate, BBQ, utensils: BYO food or order a cookout basket. The property is well situated to visit Sossusvlei.
