Teufelskrallen Lodge

If you stay in this lodge you will certainly remember it. The tents are built on stilts and located on the top of small dunes which gives you superb views on either side of your lodging. The “hotel” only have six tents so no over crowding! Some tents cater for 2 and are a bit smaller but have the advantage of having a terrace on either side (others seemed bigger and désigne to accommodate a small family). Out tents were very comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a one night stop. The shower and the toilet are located outside at the end of a “pontoon” so best to have a shower in the afternoon with daylight, the view from the Throne is impressive! There are only 2 minor things that some travellers might be aware of: it’s a bit of hike from the car to the lodge (up the dune) with the luggage can be tricky for some. The restaurant, pool and reception are located a short drive away from the tents and driving back in the dark might be an issue for some. Otherwise the restaurant offered nice menu and staff were friendly throughout.

Very 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.

Perhaps a more correct rating would be 3 stars, but based on the very extraordinary kind service and warm welcome, we enjoyed the stay and would be happy to visit again. It´s inconvenient the lodge is approx. 3 km from the tents where you sleep during night and that the place is quite close to a not very nice / interesting town. Also, that guards are present in the camp at night (that they are needed). But additionally on the good side; very fast internet, nice dinner and nice pool area." Perfect stop close to main route to Windhoek

Kleine Lodge mit gutem Essen und einem schönen Frühstücksbuffet. Auch der Gemeinschaftsraum ist ansprechend und sauber, das Personal sehr nett. Leider war der Sanitärbereich des Zeltes nicht nutzbar: Zugig, kalt und schäbig. Die Dusche haben wir nicht genutzt, das WC nur in Notfällen und sind auf das WC im Haupthaus ausgewichen, was sehr ordentlich war. Leider pfeift der Wind über den Hügel und der Weg zum WC wird im Juni bitterkalt. Wäre der Sanitärbereich besser, hätte die Lodge vier oder fünf Sterne verdient.

Wundervolle Erfahrung! Es war wunderbar und einzigartig. Die Mitarbeiter sind unfassbar aufmerksam und freundlich, das Essen war toll! Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und man hatte einen wundervollen Ausblick! Ein einzigartiges Erlebnis!

Tolle Zelte, die zwar einfach - aber dennoch Luxuriös eingerichtet sind. Toilette und Dusche befinden sich in einem kleinen Nebengebäude, welche über einen offenen Steg erreichbar ist. Kann man auch bequem nur in Unterwäsche hinüber laufen ;-) Die Haupt-Lode befindet sich 3km über privates Gelände von den Zelten entfernt. Abendessen, Service und Frühstück waren für unsere Ansprüche sehr gut.
