Incredible location! Must see for any traveler to this part of Africa. Don't hesitate, you will love your experience! Oryx right outside and just minutes from the Soussuvlei dunes!
United States of AmericaWe loved our stay. Desert Camp is gorgeous, with unbelievable scenery. Cozy pool and friendly bar area. Perfect location, close to the NP. Food and other resort services available at main lodge which was not a problem.
United States of AmericaThe property is very conveniently located a very short drive from the Sossusvlei entrance. The place was impeccably clean (much cleaner that US hotels), bright, had nice views, and oryx roam about given the nearby watering hole. The shower was absolutely amazing! Wireless internet access is provided near the bar/pool/reception area. We paid ~>$20/person for an amazing dinner at the nearby Sossusvlei Lodge. Initially, we debated over whether it would be worth the cost, but immediately upon entering, realized it was an extremely good deal! There was a very nice outdoor setup, large salad/dessert/soup bar, and wide range of hot food choices (huge array of grilled meats and fish, spaghetti, stir fry, etc). I have a gluten allergy and had no problems finding plenty to eat.
United States of AmericaPerfect location close to Sossusvlei, and we felt like it was a pretty good value for the location. We had great fun ordering food to cook ourselves at night, since we haven’t been camping on this trip, and the food we received was very good. Beautiful camp and rooms , friendly staff. Recommend!
United States of Americafor the price you pay in this area, it's really hard to find anything better than desert camp. rooms are good, nothing fancy.
LebanonOur family had a wonderful stay at desert camp! The room/bungalow was very cute, clean, comfortable, practical, and well decorated. Our unit was next to a tree with a huge birds nest, which was fun for the kids. And we saw a few Oryx roaming (don't approach them, though). We enjoyed grilling (Braii) meat outside on our patio while watching the stars. It was amazing to be surrounded by silence, the dunes, and the stars up in the sky. Just watch the little desert fox that might show up to join your barbecue. The units have their own driveway, which is very convenient. The pool and bar were also very good. There are restaurants and convenient stores, and gas stations just about half a mile away. This is a great place for families!
United States of AmericaThe camp has a cool pool for escaping the hot Namib sun, good braai facilities, is close to the park, affordable, comfortable and each unit has a perfect widescreen view of the desert wilderness at sunset.
United States of AmericaClean and comfortable. Units nicely decorated and great shower! very nice pool area.
South AfricaI liked how well I slept. Lots of wildlife. Very comfortable beds. Stars are in abundance with no wash out from artificial light. There is a nice grill with a kitchette area. Well done.
United States of AmericaTha camp is is part of the Taleni Africa Group, and you'll appreciate authentic style, clean, new furnished lodges, all that attract the admires of adventures)) Well trained personnel - you feel it immediately, even good wifi about the lobby. You can ask for a game to be prepared for you or yourself at a very resonable price. Enough water for shower, nice pool with green grass and butterflies)) Don't forget you are in the middle of nowhere (!) Marvelous sunsets just at your door)) Thank you for a very precios moments in our lives!
