Competitively priced self catering lodge - very close to the entrance to the Namib Naukluft Park

Mid-range accommodation offering some of the best value for money in the area. Horse riding an added activity
Hoodia Desert Lodge
Mid range lodge located only 22km from the Sesriem gate to the Namib-Naukluft Park
Le Mirage Desert Lodge & Spa
Moroccan inspired architecture seems strangely out of place in Namibia. The location, spa and general amenities are good.

Namib Naukluft Lodge
Good solid choice, on a beautiful property some distance from the park entrance

Large establishment right next to the Sesriem Campsite, best for keeping driving to a minimum
Sossusvlei Wilderness Camp
Luxury lodge on the same property as the Kulala lodges decorated in african colonial chic style
Weltevrede Rest Camp
Good budget option, cheaper rates equate to less favourable location (in terms of distance)
