Namib Outpost l Ondili

A bit of context first. My wife and I are in our early and late 60s respectively and generally have one ‘big holiday’ a year. While we always go ‘relatively high end’ we still look for value for money (so, for example, we still believe that ‘tips’ need to be earned but we tend to be generous when they are!). We have always booked through Scott-Dunn who always come up with a special trip that includes some amazing accommodation and are more than willing to amend the holiday to suit our specific requests. We were very lucky to be upgraded to the Outpost from its sister hotel - and what a place. Each room overlooks the desert and has a balcony looking out onto the savana. Each has inside and outside showers, indide and outside beds and LOTS of space! Meals were exceptional - with dinner being a fixed menu - while some things on the menu would not have been my choice - they were all superb! In reality - eat what's delivered, you will not be dissapointed given the chef (a lady called Sara) is clearly a culinary magician! We were looked after exceptionally well by all the staff ancd the location is to die for. I have no hesitation in giveing a 5 start review - thank you to all at Outpost - a truely memorable experience.

Beautiful lodge in the desert. Fantastic views, luxurious room, excellent food and wine, and the most hospitable staff ever. The local tours (Dead Vlei, the dunes, the petroglyphs) provided are top notch. Highly recommend this lodge for anyone traveling in Namibia.

Amazing facilities, great food, the most wonderful staff. it was such a warm and wonderful welcome to Namibia. we loved this place! we took an all inclusive and am glad we did as everything was perfect! Definitely valuable to do the sundowner and the tours of the dunes with them. the sundowner was the best value for money from our entire stay. the dune tour was amazing especially as Johannes took great care of my elderly parents
