"Namtib Desert Lodge review"
From C13 junction the D707 is quite poor with sandy patches north of Nantib access track. I recommend that a backtrack to C13 is advised.
No activities." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
"Namtib Desert Lodge review"
The setting is beautiful and they try to run this as greenly as possible. The candlelit family-style dinner was wonderful, with the whole family mingling in several languages with all the guests. the rooms are very comfortable and provide all that is needed.
They did not offer any game drives as we were led to believe but for an overnight stay the walks were enough." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia

"Namtib Desert Lodge"
Apparently there are lots of interesting animals around, they just don't seem to do anything that allows there guests to see them, which we found very strange given that they brand themselves as an Eco lodge. The food is ok but nothing special and compares poorly to some of the other lodges we stayed on our trip. On the plus side when we arrived we had had a puncture on the drive up to the lodge and they were very helpful and made a couple of phone calls for us which we appreciated. Do be aware that the rooms are pretty basic with no fans or air con.
You have to walk through an outdoor courtyard to get to the bathroom, which can be a bit off putting if you need to use the loo in the middle of the night." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 7n in South Africa
"Namtib Desert Lodge review"
The well marked botanical walk was a joy to follow in the morning before a wholesome breakfast. The homely dinner was both delicious and nutritious. In view of the weather the unattached bathroom (with an uncovered courtyard in between it and the bedroom) was a bit impracital!
We would be very happy to stay again and see and do more. The owners are friendly and enthusiastic" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia; 4n in South Africa
"Namtib Desert Lodge, Little Hunters rest camp"
The nature drive was full of interesting information about farming in Namibia - but only possible to participate if not occupied fully by logde guests. We went on a walking safari on our own and climbed the mountain behind the campsite, great expirience! You can bye meat for the brai but need to bring everything else!"
