Luxury Tent Desert Camp

Farm on D826, Sesriem, Namibia –

Lock in a great price for Desert Camp – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

for the price you pay in this area, it's really hard to find anything better than desert camp. rooms are good, nothing fancy.

Romelukaku, Lebanon

Our 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!

Dunessailor, United States of America

The 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.

Matthew, United States of America

Clean and comfortable. Units nicely decorated and great shower! very nice pool area.

Paul, South Africa

I 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.

Scott, United States of America

Tha 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!

Skrin, Russia

Absolutely beautiful views of the desert and outstandingly comfortable chalet very cleverly designed, loved it!

Lu, South Africa

nice tented one room facing the wilderness, perfect setting 6km from the entrance to the Nature wildlife reserve. The pool even small was such a relief after 6h of driving in the dust. |The braai with a small outdoor kitchen, made Cooking under the stars perfect

Delphine, South Africa

The view of the mountains in the far distance and the animals walking past at dusk. The silence. The fact that it is the closest Lodge to Sossusvlei.

Ina, South Africa

Good location very close to Sesriem and the National Park entrance.

We were not informed that the unit has no utensils and that we have to request a box full of utensils. We got one regular size glass and 3 kiddies size glasses. We prefer long tall glasses for our drinks. There is no shade over the patio and while the sun is up its impossible to relax there. The seating on the patio is uncomfortable. Need chairs that can be carried around in order to sit next to the fire. (Which is at a fixed spot)
The view of the mountains in the far distance and the animals walking past at dusk. The silence. The fact that it is the closest Lodge to Sossusvlei.

In the middle of the desert! Each Bungalow has a terrace (incl. Barbecue possibility and kitchen block) with undisturbed view of the desert and the sky. If you don't feel like cooking - I can recommend the dinner at their close-by partner lodge - large buffet, meat grilled on the spot, romantic table setting Proximity to Sossusvlie

As per the website, the unit are not equipped with cutlery and cooking essentials, but you can get a box with these basics from reception for a refundable deposit. The fridge did not work that well, but was OK as it was not in the high summer.
Perfectly designed for a self-catering stay. Airconditioning in the room, with a small kitchenette (two plate stove, bar fridge and kettle) on the stoep.

Lovely spot in the middle of the Namib Desert only 5km to the entrance gate to sossusvlei. When we arrived, we got kindly welcomed and introduced in the camp and the surroundings. The bungalows were separated so that you can enjoy your time on the terrace doing your BBQ which you can order at the reception before 4:30pm and cook yourself at your bungalow. The houses are clean, new and well decorated as well as the outdoor kitchen. The equipment for cooking can be rent at the reception for a deposit of 300NAD. Really good wi-fi connection is provided at the reception and the pool area. So if you thinking of visiting the unique and the oldest desert of the world, so we can definitely recommend the Desert Camp as Gateway to Sossusvlei.

We enjoyed our stay at the Desert Camp.It was our honeymoon and they made it extra special by providing a bottle of sparkling wine in the room. We enjoyed using the pool; it was good to cool off after spending the morning at Sossusvlei. We’d definitely recommend dinner at Sossusvlei lodge - there was an amazing selection of food.

Not the accommodation's fault, but the road from Solitaire to Sesriem is one of the absolute worst we drove on while in Namibia, so give yourself plenty of time to get there. It would also be better if you could have breakfast on site (as opposed to driving up to the lodge).
We visited while on honeymoon, and it really is a spectacular spot. Our chalet was spacious and comfortable, with an outdoor patio to watch the sunset. There is a little kitchen near the patio too. There is a bar and pool on site too, which is a short walk away from the chalets.

Bathroom floor gets slippery during a shower so watch your step on the way out. Wifi only at the bar area.
The suite was wonderful. The aircon worked and the shower was hot. The kitchen is outside the suite on a patio which is perfect when having a braai. Ask for a cooking box during check in for utensils and crockery.

We loved our stay at the lodge so overall a wonderful time... a couple of things could be improved... air con (which is wonderful!) and kept on all night, is a bit noisy and blows straight into the main beds... my daughter who was on the sleeper couch and I swapped beds and we were both happy in the end but it might be a bit cold for some. Need to collect a box of utensils on checking i (this wasnt explained) and if cooking for selves (we were cooking for 6) it is slightly under equipped... eg. Need another larger pot and more washing up liquid per box etc. But all in all a magical 3 nights!
Absolutely beautiful setting... loved the incredible views of the mountains which changed in the different light. We stayed in the last two rooms at the end and had uninterrupted views of the nature around us, as well as visits by oryx, springbok, buffalo and jackal at night coming to look for food! Exquisite sunsets! Lovely pool with the best shade of the different Sossusvlei camps. Loved the view of the small watering hole from the pool with wildlife visiting while we swam! Beautiful place and well positioned to explore the dunes, also the Engen garage close by is a God send for water and food supplies!
