Very helpful staff. Particularly Daniel and Driss. Excursions were excellent and very informative, we really enjoyed them. Food was great exceptionally well cooked although no choice offered. The views were absolutely stunning.

“Wonderfully remote stay in the desert with fully equipped private homes and view of watering hole.”
Amazing remote lodge with beautiful view of the desert including watering hole where we saw oryx in the early morning from our room. Rooms all felt very private and fully equipped. We did a guided sundowner which was really beautiful and we had it all to ourselves! We saw ostriches, oryx, desert foxes. The guide was very knowledgeable. Food was plentiful and tasty!

“The Perfect Dessert Retreat!!”
The loveliest Dessert Retreat. We were so well looked after by the lovely young lady and Reception and by Daniel at the Resterant. Such helpful and lovely people. The Lodges are perfect with great fews over the Dessert. It really is a great Dessert Lodge.

“This was a breathtakingly beautiful and serene experience.”
The view from the chalets is priceless. The staff were extremely helpful. I had a flat on my way to Kanaan and two of the staff members offered to repair rge flat tyre and they even replaced it once repaired. Awesome service.
