Good for star gazing
It was a great location for seeing the stars. We enjoyed the water hole, and even had a coyote visit at night.

Close to national park
It was a nice place located close to the national park, offering beautiful scenery. However, communication could have been better. The reception overlooked the booking details of our stay, which caused issues during checkout.

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.

Die Unterkunft liegt ca. 15 Minuten vom äußeren Gate entfernt. Es ist ein idealer Startpunkt, wenn man morgens in den Park möchte. Wichtig ist, dass aktuell das Essen in der 10 Minuten (Auto) entfernten Lodge erfolgt. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen waren super lecker und ausreichend.

Non si può chiedere di più a una struttura che è a soli 3 km da uno dei posti più belli del mondo. Guardare il cielo stellato prima di andare a dormire con solo due volpi a scrutarti. Personale alla reception e al bar accogliete e simpatico. Per la cena si può optare nel fai da te (angolo cottura e barbecue, frigo tutto arredato da stoviglie, pentole e bicchieri), nel self catering o andando nel vicino Desert Lodge che con circa 20 € si attingere ai tavoli del buffet con piatti caldi cucinati al momento su richiesta specifica.

Komfortables Camp unweit des Eingangs zum Sossusvlei
Die einzelnen Chalets sind groß und gut ausgestattet. Wer keine Lust auf Selbstversorgung hat kann Halbpension in der Sossusvlei Lodge buchen. Das Essen dort ist hervorragend; die Lodge ist allerdings sehr groß und Anlaufpunkt für viele internationale Touristen.

Traumhafte Lage mit super ausgestatteten Häuschen. Desert Cam, der Name ist Programm.
Der Pool ist wirklich Luxus aber toll.
Das Personal sehr zuvorkommend. Eine nette Bar ist vorhanden.
Das zubuchbare Essen in der Sossusvlei Lodge ist hervorragend und sehr zu empfehlen.

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.

Das Desert Camp in Sesriem hat durch den Abriss der alten Zelte und den kompletten Neubau zwar an doppelter Größe dazu gewonnen, dafür aber auch deutlich an Komfort. Meine per Email geäußerten Zimmerwünsche wunschgemäß umgesetzt. Sehr gut!

Die Unterkunft liegt nah am Eingang des Namib-Naukluft-Nationalparks.
Personal sehr freundlich, WLAN kann man im Bar/Poolbereich nutzen.
Die Unterkunft ist sauber und gepflegt.
An der Rezeption kann man sich eine Kiste mit Kochzubehör besorgen, so dass man sich selbst verpflegen kann.

Die Lage macht den Unterschied
Die Lage ist wunderbar. Die Häuschen super und auch ganz toll das Bad und WC. Leider wurde nicht geputzt. Das ganze Haus und Terrasse waren voll mit Sand. Ansonsten einfach herrlich. Man bezahlt hier ganz klar für die Lage

Super gelegen und nur 5 min in den Nationalpark
Das Camp war schön und es war ein schöner Ausblick. Wir sind auf den nahegelegenen Berg geklettert gegangen ca 150 Meter entfernt und von dort aus war der perfekte Ausblick.
