We liked specifically the outdoor kitchen and doing our little braai there. the location is superb, with the desert as your front yard. When we were there it was full moon, so the images were magic. We also recommand Desert Quiver Camp because it is the closest accomodation (apart from the Sossoudvlei Lodge) to the national park entry. so you don't need to drive during the dark over gravel road to be there at sunrise, as strongly advised!!! As it is so close you can even relax inbetween two visits to the park on one day.... we would love to stay here again.
Le Mirage Resort & Spa is a unique desert oasis located 100 km from Solitaire, Namibia. It offers luxury accommodation and gourmet dining.

I liked everything about this place. I don’t have much to add. This place is better than any images you see. The luxury at this place is exceptional. All of my praises of this place will not do it justice. A must visit & stay. This place only had 2 nights available when I booked so I only stayed 2 nights. I would’ve liked to stay longer. There’s room for improvements but this place overall is very beautiful🥰❤️

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.
Situated just 22 km from Duwisib Castle, At Kronenhof Campsites provides accommodation in Sesriem with access to a terrace, a bar, as well as full-day security.

A nice clean swimming pool was available. We were upgraded to the private campsite which is really private.

Nice breakfast and dinner options. Location is perfect! Look no further, it is commercial but they take good care of you. Staff is great and there are plenty of options in the area!

We stayed at the Desert Camp, not far from the park entrance gate. It was an easy drive to the park, and the 60km of wonderful tarred road to the 2 wheel drive car park. This gives access to Dig Daddy dune and Deadvlei.
From here the park vehicle took us to Big Momma dune, and also goes to Hidden Vlei. All very easy.
Dune 45 is 45 km along the road. The bus cost 180 Namibian dollars in October 2023. Wear runners to climb the dunes and walk to Deadvlei. Har, sunglasses and water are essential. We ate at the restaurant inside the park gate. Good and affordable. We bought our water at the shop there. Breakfast at the Sossusvlei Lodge was good too.
I would recommend paying extra for tyre and glass insurance when picking up your rental car. Prior to coming to Sesriem, we had a flat tyre far from anywhere and Hertz directed us to a lodge with tyre repair services. We had to go on to Outjo to get the fixed tyre replaced, but the insurance made it less of a concern.

Best place to experience the oldest desert on earth.
Best place to experience the oldest desert on earth. Wonderful place to spend time with. At least you need to stay 1 night inside park to make sure that you can go to Deadvlei early in the moring. Take photos with shade of light. Hiking at Daddy dune in the morning and slide down to deadvlei.

Sesriem is an oasis in the desert and everything is well organized but basic. Prepare well before you go. The cleanliness of the entire area is remarkable. The Namibian people are very friendly and helpful - don't be shy to ask for advice.

I loved the dunes, but we should have got there a bit earlier in the day for the best photographic opportunities. We stayed at We Kebi Lodge which was exceptional value for money, and I would have loved to stay there for a longer stay.

The road in from Mariental (273Km) and out to Walvis Bay (315 Km) were sand/gravel, and in a poor shape for large portions. Other than that it was a great stay. 2 nights should be a minimum with at least one day to frolic in the dunes.

Accommodation in and around Sesriem and Sossusvlei is...
Accommodation in and around Sesriem and Sossusvlei is slightly on the expensive side for locals and South Africans. However, it is one of those things that you have to see and experience should you be able to travel the gravel roads of this vast country.
Great place to stay, highly recommended!
We stayed 2 nights to visit Sossusvlei. You can view the sunrise and sunset by fire place. Also possible to have balloon fly of sunrise behind the hotel, in the morning we job to the backside and go up the small hill and the view was great, at night, you can have amzing milkyway after 5 course dinner which is sunrising good and fast.
We did not expect this at our first stay in Namibia, it was the best start you would wish for.
Great place to stay if you are visiting Sesriem. The rooms are simple but very clean and comfortable to accommodate a family with kids.
The staff is excellent and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay (kudos specially to Paul on this).
Food is also very good and quality and the kitchen staff make sure all your dietary requirements are considered.
Everything was great. We were late to check in, but stuff of the hotel left us instructions how to get to our cabin. The cabin itself is very spacious with high ceilings.
Food in nearby hotel was fresh and tasty and you can see some oryx and birds while eating outside. Stargazing was an additional free experience. Location is very close to Sossusvlei.
+ Our room/cottage was very spacious
+ Area outside of our room was just for us, well equipped for BBQ.
+ We can imagine spending multiple days here
+ Nearby Sossusvlei Lodge offers great adventures (helicopter flight, trips...)
+ Sossusvlei Lodge also covers meals for guests. Everything is smoothly connected. We just had to state our room number
What a fantastic experience that was. You are treated like a king from start to finish. The Hotel Manager has created a superb atmosphere with all the staff. The facilities are greatly located.
I can only highly spoke of everyone looking after us during our stay/
A special thank you to our guide Paolo who made our desert tour extraordinary.
The location and sunset is awesome ! Hermann who is doing the tour is the perfect person to go with at the dunes, sesriem and deadvlei ! we did as well a game drive wirh hermann is was superbe ! The location is great, staff very smilly and friendly !
Very clean as well ! and great diner !
Everything was perfect. From check in to check out the service and staff were wonderful. Lovely view from the room, comfortable, peaceful, great food and the Gemsbok. 40 mins drive to Sesriem gate. Well worth it to see the dunes. Don't forget Deadvlie and Sesriem Canyon.
The staff went out of their way to provide a good experience. Quaint and interesting decorations on the property. Rooms were very private. Food excellent. We were provided with a brunch packet so that we could leave very early to drive to Sesriem for the day.
Checked in to the hotel and realized although they say it has AC it barely works. Instead we asked to switch to their sister lodge Sossusvlei Desert Lodge and paid for the difference which they were happy to do. Location is great as its right by the gate.
Staff is very friendly and polite, installations are excellent (I found that the pictures on the publications were unfair, the Lodge is way better). Food is really good and the location is spectacular for discovering the Sesriem region.
The big tent has comfprtable beds. The stuff is kind and the dinner included in the price was very good, abundant and served with class. The location is about 1h from the gate of Sesriem.
Very good location, which allow you to get access to the park at 6.15 and avoid the crowd.
Very well decorated and beautiful hotel.
Staff super friendly, especially the waiters.
Close enough to Sesriem. Nice bungalows and incredible views of the desert and awesome dark skies for stargazing. Good restaurant and friendly staff. There is a small pool.
