Things to do in Hardap Region
1. Dead Valley Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 44 reviews
The Dead Valley lodge is situated inside the Namib – Naukluft Park, in-between Seriem and Elim Dune on the D826 road leading to the world-famous Dead Valley at Sossusvlei. The lodge offer twenty (20) free standing climate-controlled luxury tented chalets each with a panoramic view of the Namib Desert with towering red sand dunes, rugged mountain ranges, and arid desert savannahs.
Luxury Tents maybe, but freezing in winter
Reviewed By UkCorporate_galWe arrived at Dead Valley Lodge after having stayed at Kwessi Dines in the Namib-Rand. The staff were very welcoming and the “luxury” tents were very nicely done out and very spacious, with proper wardrobes, a refrigerator and a separate tented bathroom. We ended up in the back row of tents, which meant that if we wanted to pop to the bathroom, the people in the front row could see you if they were coming around the side of their tent to go out! Bit weird in terms of the set up. We had a sunrise tour of the dunes at Sossusvlei as part of our package and that was very good, with a breakfast picnic at the dunes after the sunrise, as well as a walk to Dead Vlei too. The real downer on the stay was the weather. It was freezing and blowing a gale, whipping the sides of the tent so much that the winds were coming into it. There was no heating inside the tent and the last night we were there, the management decided that, despite the chill temperatures and raging gale, they would have an outside buffet! All the guests were wrapped in blankets shivering, the buffet wasn’t lit so you couldn’t see the food and the chefs were struggling to run the BBQ without setting their hair on fire and it was an absolute disaster, to the extent we didn’t actually stay outside to eat. We complained at the time but the Assistant Manager wasn’t much help and even the following morning when we mentioned it again to one of the main managers, he blamed the staff! Nice in the summer I’m sure, but we won’t be visiting that lodge again

SOSSUSVLEI LODGE
Reviewed By LindyandPierreNelWow, wow, wow- have stayed in a large number of lodges, but you guys just know how things work. Have stayed in more expensive lodges as well this year but your service is the best. Everyone is so friendly, the rooms have everything you need and comfortable beds, big showers. Amazing views, quiet mornings just the desert around you, food was amazing. The avtivities and tour guides were fantastic. Cannot fault one single thing here, except we were sorry to leave.... Tip to future travellers to the area, Sossusvlei Lodge has a large number of wonderful activities, book with them directly. Do not book via Viator.com as there are tour operators that will completely rip you off, unfortunately happened to us where the tour operator charged us almost 3x what Sossusvlei Lodge ask...

4. Teufelskrallen Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 116 reviews
The tent houses of Teufelskrallen Lodge, situated on the first western Kalahari dune, offer their guests a panoramic view over the endless vastness and the sprawling Kalahari. The 6 fully-furnished and comfortably-equipped tents come with a large view deck and their own bathroom. Each bathroom is connected to the tent by a short wooden boardwalk. Reception, restaurant and swimming pool are located in the old farmhouse at a distance of 3km from the tent houses. During hikes and game drives (all starting from Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge), guests can experience the breathtaking beauty of the Kalahari with dunes that elevate up to 30 meters in an open off-road car and watch the spectacular animals and vegetation.
Relaxed atmosphere with a high chance to see a variety of different Kalahari inhabitants.
Reviewed By mightymaoCHVery clean, very friendly staff, great food. We enjoyed both the guided morning walk and the afternoon game drive with Martin, a friendly and competent guide that can explain you all ablit the animals and plants. The tents are located close to the top of a dune with a wide look over the Kalahari. Once or twice a couple of springboks passed by very close to the tent. You can also easily take a self-guided walk as there are no large predators.

Beautiful camp side and stunning food
Reviewed By Angelina GBeautiful camp and nice staff. We had a wonderful time. Thanks to the whole team for beeging part of our Namibia Journey. You definitely need to have a dinner in this place. Andreas is a stunning chef. The food is incredible. Also to mention Paula. She has great recommendations for the whole region.
6. Neuras Estate

Not the best guesthouse we've been to during our Namibia Trip
Reviewed By BD_GermanNeuras is one of four winemakers in Namibia and that seems to be their USP. Rooms dark and a bit worn down. Bathroom from the 1970 . . . . Staff totally uninterested. When I told them that the water heater in the bathroom was not working they just shrug their shoulders. Food was OK but not great. Wine tour was a joke! Guide had no idea how their products were produced. I learned that Rum is made from grapes. The best of the tour was the wine tasting at the end. The tour guide just poured us four glasses of wine, confused the different blends and left without a word. Our recommendation would be to drive 50 km westwards and take a much better lodge their.

World class! Premium Lodge.
Reviewed By debbieSouthAfricaHave just spent a night at this fabulous lodge between etosha and the noordoewer border. The perfect place to stop. The rooms are stylish and have everything you need. Loved sitting on the verandah and taking in the scenary. Wifi worked very well at the main reception and restaurant and bar but we couldn't pick it up in our room. The staff are incredibly friendly. Breakfast was buffet and had a huge choice. We enjoyed drinks in the bar , around the fireplace and then the delicious buffet spread for dinner. The pork and lamb chops were out of this world. We would highly recommend you stop over here.

Superb Lodge in the Kalahari
Reviewed By BiggySmilesWhat an amazing place! We had a stunning room with a small private pool for our honeymoon. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Brilliant game drive with an amazing sunset. Cheetah Sanctuary is very surreal. Delicious dinner and breakfast - would recommend staying for more than one night!

Outstanding hospitality in a stunning location!
Reviewed By rob103There's a very good reason why Hoodia Desert Lodge has received over 400 "Excellent" ratings on Trip Advisor-- they are richly deserved! The lodge itself is just lovely and it is located in an absolutely stunning location. The individual rooms (mini-lodges, actually) are beautifully appointed and very comfortable, and the meals were just delicious. Our host, Thomas Becker, could not have been more welcoming and hospitable, as was true of the rest of his staff. Because we were traveling with our own guide, the only activity that was arranged for us by the Lodge was a "sundowner" on our last night there, but it was truly special. The spectacular setting was carefully chosen for optimal sunset views, and the drinks and hors d'oeuvres were excellent. I have included a few photos which hopefully will not get lost in the gallery of more than 600 photos that other guests have posted. We highly recommend this lovely facility!
