“Interesting”
The place has lots of character, pity it has not had a refresh in along time to make it more appealing. Rooms are spacious, beds comfortable but very poor lighting, few lamps would help. Staff is very pleasant and helpful

“The perfect base for visiting the desert elephants.”
Good re-imagination of the old Fort. Big trees in the yard. Great view from the tower. Good food. Friendly people. Ernest is the perfect guide for a drive into the Hoanib river bed and visiting the desert elephants. We did this in our own car.

“Overpriced and disappointing.”

“Time and money can be better spend than in Sesfontein”
The staff in this lodge was very kind and friendly. We didn’t have any better during our roundtrip. I really feel bad about this bad comment as non of this is their fault. You can say this is Africa but when you see what is possible, this is a scam
