Fodor's Expert Review Namib Dune Star Camp

Namib Naukluft Park, Erongo, Namibia

These eco-friendly, solar-powered chalets with spacious wood decks balance atop grassy sand dunes that show off stunning sunset vistas. Classified as a soft adventure camp, you will still see some game and birds, but this location is all about the scenery and the experience of sleeping in the desert beneath the stars. You'll have everything you need for a restful and extremely comfortable night (including lights, hot water, and lots of warm bedding), without having to rough it. The reception area, where you check in, has free Wi-Fi, a swimming pool, and a small shop that sells general items and souvenirs.

PROS

  • personalized and attentive service at this intimate camp
  • meals at the communal table are great for meeting other travelers
  • each clean, comfortable cabin sleeps three

CONS

  • no power outlets in the rooms, only at restaurant
  • can only do a self-drive to reception, so don't leave anything in your car when you pack a small overnight bag
  • no Wi-Fi and poor cellphone reception at the camp
