"Brandberg White Lady review"
We were disappointed with the rooms, extremely hot, fans only in some rooms and those that were there only operate when the generator starts up in the evening. The pool was not clean, rooms very tired and in need of repair. Shower temperature dependant on wood burner and didn't seem very adjustable.
Dinner was disappointing - note to self - never order fish in the middle of the desert!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Wonderful lodge in the shadow of namibias Hi"
On one evening the workers at the lodge did a lovely concert ,they have their own choir.
The workshop at the lodge were ale to repair the puncture very reasonably.
The brick built chalets had hot water provided by individual woodburning stoves lit for us early in the morning.
Every morning a flask of boiling water was delivered to the chalet for early morning tea.
They had a meer cat pet on the premises which was cute.
had we been able to get there ,there was a famouswall painting The white lady Very close by and the splendours of the Brandburg Mountain." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Lost in the sands of time"
The cabin was basic - no glass in some of the windows for example. This was not a problem until the wind got up and allowed loads of sand into the room.
In addition, the cabins were some distance from the main lodge and quite spaced out in what appeared to be no logical pattern. As a result, when returning to the cabin after the evening meal, we very quickly got lost in the dark and ended up stuck in some soft sand. Fotunately some people in 4x4's were camping out nearby and came to our rescue.
Mealtime was chaos - there seemed to be insufficient tables etc for all the guests and as there was a coach party staying who wanted to sit with certain friends, it ended up like a game of musical chairs. The service was patchy - the staff seemed more interested in supplying alcohol than in getting the food from the kitchen. As a result, those of us that were furthest way from the kitchen had to wait a long time as staff were diverted to go and fetch drink orders that they received whilst serving diners."

"Brandberg White Lady Lodge review"
We did the Game Drive but unfortunately landed up with a tour party on the vehicle which was not very satisfactory. Although Desert Elephants had been seen in the camp on that day and all week and we had a 90% chance of seeing them, this was not to be. The Cabaret by the local people after the Evening Meal was excellent and the gardens to the place were lovely.
The Goodwins loved the tents and open showers but have to say that there should be better directions to getting to this accommodation since at one time we found ourselves on the Game Drive Road and nearly sank in the sand! The bed linen needs replacing since this is very tired.
We did the walk to the White Lady but were very disappointed to see how small he/she was!" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"one night only"
Staff did not seem to be managed in any way and there was no organisation as such. Dinner was ok but only one person seemed to serve many guests....a bit like a school dining hall. We left before dessert as there was little atmosphere and had a drink back at our chalets.
Management issue, not staff." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Brandberg White Lady Lodge"
It was some way off the main road however, and the access road was heavily ''washboarded''. We very much enjoyed meeting Kingsley and Stumpy (two young Meerkats), they were good company at breakfast." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Missed the elephants by an hour...."
The possiblity of bumping into elephants gives an added frisson to the stroll to the main restaurant and the morning delivery of hot water for tea/coffee is welcome and charming touch. Service in the restaurant tends to be slow and the fixed menus are simple but adequate. The bar seems to be a local gathering place and the beer and the pool are cool and good after a long drive to get here.
The springbok has grown up - and is more amorous than last year." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
