Lodges in Sesriem

Amazin pool in the desert. Braai pack was great. Very clean and neat

The location was wonderful. All rooms have an unobstructed view to the beautiful landscape. The common areas are spacious and beautiful and perfect for relaxation. The staff was tremendous. The food was top notch. We booked a guided Sossusvlei tour, and we felt incredibly lucky to have such a knowledgeable and service minded guide as Natangwe. He really made our experience mind blowing and fun. We considered doing a self drive, but are glad we decided to go on a guided tour. I went for a sunset horse ride as a total beginner. Thanks to the great horse trainer and TK who arranged the sunset experience (and the fact that I was the only one attending) this became another highlight of the stay. It is about 30 minutes from the gate. This turned out to be no problem at all.

Beautiful place to stay with very helpful and friendly staff. The evening meal was excellent and the visitors to watering hole make this place very hard to leave.

I don’t know where to start it was just amazing beeing welcomed to this place. Our room was beyond beautiful with an outdoor bed (they‘ll arrange sheets and everything if you tell the reception) a second terrace with sunloungers, outdoorshower and another balcony right in front of your bed. Interior is very spacious with gorgeous big windows, a big comfortable bed, lounge area with the most amazing view and a very big bathroom. Minibar and coffeestation are filled up so you can enjoy a drink right when you arrive. We had Zebras right in front of the lodge when we arrived. For sundowner you can choose to visit the upper deck (up a small hill), they‘ll arrange the drink you told them in advance and also very good tapas. Thanks a lot to Willie and the second waiter for arranging our drinks last minute and for racing up the hill with them and our tapas. :) After that head right to dinner, honestly the best dinner we had during our whole holiday. The steak was amazing, the starter and the amuse guele, the soup and the dessert. Lastly the whole staff really cares and seems to really enjoy beeing there and working together you can really feel the team spirit. Its about 40min drive to Sesriem Gate (they provide early breakfast with you want to leave before sunrise) for us that was totally fine. We arrived at the gate for sunrise and at Sossusvlei in time to walk up Big Daddy before the heat. Scenery and light is amazing at this time of the day. After running down the hill to Deadvlei we drove back to the Lodge to enjoy a beautiful afternoon and evening. Only downside that we just stayed 2 nights and couldn’t enjoy a whole day at the lodge. We‘ll come back, thanks again.

This place is incredible! We are so happy we chose to stay here, it was one of the highlights of our trip. The location is amazing, the rooms are fabulous and the staff and food are excellent!

amazing place, the lodge is simply a piece of art. it was perfect the service, the views, the whole atmosphere was memorable.

The main house, restaurant and lounge area was stunning. The apartments were so beautiful and secluded A fire was lit so you could have hot water and a basket of coffee dropped off at your front door Food was absolutely exquisite

Elegant Desert Lodge is very well situated and reasonably priced considering it’s proximity to Sesriem. Very comfortable, spacious, tastefully decorated rooms, loved the crisp bed linen and cozy quilts. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the meals were delicious and plentiful, and the setting was beautiful. There was lots of outdoor space for guests to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded by other guests. The mid afternoon tea, coffee and cake service was a nice touch and very appreciated, as was the bed turndown in the evening, complete with small treat!

Beautiful location and facility and excellent staff

Fabulous location, great rooms, lovely food. Our guide Enos was excellent
