"Hoodia Sossusvlei excursion review"
Based at Hoodia Desert Lodge on 14 Apr 2018
"Excursion to Sossuvlei should have been better managed. It was arranged that we arrived at ‘Big Daddy’ in the high heat of the day 11.30 am, which made it too arduous for us to climb – a disappointment. Suggest that the trip is organised such that Big Daddy is visited first and do the other explanatory things on the way back."

"Our guide John was brilliant.
It was a real pleasure to undertake a tour that was not "get to the dunes as quick as possible, have some food and get out again" - our Hoodia tour was relaxing, extremely informative and great fun.
It finished off with a magnificent lunch under a tree, miles away from any other tour party.
Absolutely fantastic day!" Read more about this whole safari

"Taking on Big Daddy"
Based at Hoodia Desert Lodge on 19 Feb 2017
"TOO MANY PEOPLE!! And we were there in the low season! We would avoid it in the high season- or stay at a camp with private access....But, having said that, it was obviously not to be missed and our excellent guide made every effort to take us to the less crowded spots. Beautifully served, proper sit - down lunch under a huge old acacia - with only an oryx for company!
Some of our group made the top of the Big Daddy dune- we got half way- but it was still fun coming down." Read more about this whole safari

"A great guide, Mike. we set off at about 6am and returned back to the lodge at 3pm, so a very long day - a bit too much for me.
Climbed a dune, slid down - hilarious!
Delicious lunch under the trees." Read more about this whole safari

"Angula was excellent!"
Based at Hoodia Desert Lodge on 29 Jul 2012
"Angula was our guide and he was a very knowledgeable and polite guide. He walked with us all the way up the dunes (no easy feat, exept for him) and showed us around everywhere, culminating with a fantastic picnic lunch before our last stop at Sesriem Canyon."
