Nice area to travel.
Was disappointed not to be able to stay at Desert Quiver Camp, apparently "overbooked" after we received confirmation of the reservation a week before our arrival. The person I spoke to was not very friendly or helpful and we were told to move to the Desert Camp next door. There we met very friendly staff and were able to have a nice stay. Place was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. I still recommend both places because it is such a beautiful area.

The most beautiful view over the Namib and a plus that it is only 5km from the Sossusvlei gate and Sesriem Canyon.

Very good experience.
The camp is ideally located for a visit to Sossusvlei. It forms part of a larger setup that includes Sossusvlei Lodge and Desert Camp. Amenities are sufficient for overnight stays and self-catering. I would recommend that there are tables next to the bed, it's quite a misery if there is no place to put something next to the bed. Furthermore, the kitchenette's canvas definitely needs attention. Our unit's tarpaulin did not close properly and was also torn. However, this did not detract from our stay. WiFi at the accommodation does not exist at all and it's an excursion every time to get reception of any kind. Although some people disappear from the scene on vacation, it is quite necessary to just "check in" sometimes.

Beste Bridget,
Baie dankie vir die goeie sterre en terugvoer!
Bly julle het ons oornag en selfsorg geriewe voldoende gevind en 'n goeie ervaring gehad!
Jammer vir die ongerief van die seil by die kombuisie - 'n paar rukwinde die afgelope tyd het skade gemaak en ons gee aandag daaraan.
Met ons afgeleë ligging is dit nie moontlik om goeie WiFi te waarborg nie, dus dui ons dit geensins aan as iets wat ons bied nie.
Hoop om julle weer te verwelkom!

Nice place to stop after a long day's travel.
Although the rooms are neat and big, I expected more from the establishment given the price I paid. We ordered food in advance. It was tasty, although portions were small. The disappointment is the fact that there are no cutlery and kitchen facilities. You also have to order this in advance and receive it in a crate for which you have to pay a deposit. You'd think they'd at least tell you about it ahead of time, since they can see you're ordering food again for a barbecue? And then you are told on top of that that you have to wash the dishes yourself and take the crate back to reception to get your deposit back. For me, this is an unnecessary inconvenience and the website can certainly check and compare with establishments that charge similar prices in equally popular tourist destinations. WiFi also only works at the reception/bar and not in the rooms.

Beste Solly, dankie vir die terugvoering. Ons noem spesifiek in ons beskrywings, "Kratte met die nodige eetgerei is by ontvangs teen 'n terugbetaalbare deposito beskikbaar," sodat gaste bewus is van dit voordat hulle bespreek. Die kosse wat vooraf bestel was se porsie grootte en gewig word aangedui op die bestel vorm en word daarvolgens verpak. Met ons afgeleë ligging bied ons die beste Wi-Fi sein wat ons ontvang op ons lyne aan op een konsentreerde plek waar gaste dit kan gebruik by die kroeg, swembad en ontvangsareas. Hoop om julle weer te verwelkom. Beste wense, Die Desert Quiver Camp Span.

Stunning facility, top down management.
Let me kick off by saying that Desert Quiver Camp is a breathtakingly beautiful facility in a landscape that literally lets you take thousands of photos. The A-frame cottages are extremely well equipped and the pool area is lovely. The food products list on which you can place orders for "self-catering" is great and the portions were large, fresh and very tasty (we ordered chops, sausages and salads for 2 and were able to make road food from them the next day!). I would like to share our experience at Desert Quiver in order to also ensure a more positive experience for future travelers (and especially SADC guests). The staff at reception (I almost think the guy's name was Andrew?) were incredibly friendly and helpful and we had a great time chatting. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the management. Let me explain. On day 2 of our visit, we decided to spend the sweltering afternoon at the pool and bar area and drink a few Tafel Lagers. Now I must quickly explain; the bar and pool area, the reception and the office of the manager(s) located literally within a radius of 20 m from each other. The bar was unmanned throughout and we just popped in to the manager and asked if we could order a beer as the reception wasn't manned either. The manager was extremely curt and the receptionist who sat and chatted with him went to help us with great difficulty and with a very long face. When we wanted to order another beer, I walked to the driver's door again and asked with our usual Afrikaner decency if we could perhaps order another beer. The manager, obviously annoyed, told the reception person to help us. I wait outside and I reckon the manager thought I was already gone because I hear him saying to the receptionist in the most snide way possible "oh, just give them 4 so they can let us out". Needless to say, we didn't have the courage to relax at the pool area any further and instead headed back to our cottage. May I add that shortly after this incident a German tourist couple came to sit at the bar and instantly the (until that point missing-in-action) bartender, the receptionist as well as the other manager were there to help them. For many this may sound "petty", but for us it was an incident that spoiled our otherwise breathtaking Desert Quiver experience. For a South African who pays in rands, this is not cheap accommodation - on the contrary - it was the most expensive accommodation of our entire Namibia tour and it was disappointing for us that a person in charge could be so pertinently incompetent with people who - like any other tourist - drove far and paid dearly to come and work out at the facility. PS - a final tip: the reception may mention to guests upon arrival that cutlery and cookware are available at reception (there is only a kettle and glasses at the cottages). On our first night, we thought that cutlery was part of the self-catering and ate very nicely from the grill.

Hallo Nelius,
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons is regtig jammer vir die swak diens en stel dadelik ondersoek en sal aksie neem teen die personeel. Dit is nie hoe ons, ons personeel en bestuur oplei nie en hierdie tipe gedrag word ten sterkste veroordeel.
Hoop ons kan u weer terug verwelkom in die toekoms.

Oasis in the middle of the desert.
Neat chalets with outside kitchen. You can pay R300 for kitchen utensils at reception. As soon as you return, you get R300 back. The pool is a winner after a long hot day. There are no meals available at the lodge. Note both options are prohibitively expensive and I would suggest people bring their own food instead. Check what's included with tours booked at Sossusvlei Lodge. We were charged a breakfast that we didn't ask for, which we were then told we had to pay for even though we didn't eat it because the lodge makes it for every person who goes on the trip. It is R270 for a bowl of cereal (my meal) and a cup of coffee that my husband drank.

Beste Cindy,
Dankie vir die terugvoer. Bly julle het ons netjiese chalets geniet en die swembad. Desert Quiver Camp is 'n selfsorg oord, dus is daar geen etes beskikbaar op die perseel nie. Ons gee wel vir gaste wat nie self wil koos nie die opsie om gebruik te maak van ons nabygeleë Sossusvlei Lodge se resaurant. Daar is ook 'n opsie om vars kosprodukte te bestel van 'n baie bekostigbare lys af wat dan na jou eenheid gebring sal word teen skemer om self te braai.
Daar word heel duidelik melding gemaak op al ons beskrywings dat die Sossusvlei / Dooie Vlei uitstappie ontbyt insluit en indien u bespreking nie reeds ontbyt insluit nie, dit ekstra gevra sal word. Tydens die uitstappie word daar 'n piekniek tafel gedek vir gaste waar daar tee, koffie en sap bedien word en gaste kan smul aan 'n versydenheid brood, kaas, koue vleise, vrugte, joghurt en graanvlokkies wat ingepak word. Meeste gaste is beindruk met die hoeveelheid kos teen slegs R135 per persoon en geniet die lekker piekniek ontbyt ervaring.
Hoop ons kan u terug verwelkom tydens 'n toekomstige reis na Sossusvlei.
Groete,
