“The most beautiful lodge we have ever been to”

This is the most beautiful lodge we have ever been to. All details are just carefully made, the location is just perfect for a gateway, all food at the restaurant was super tasty.

“Great for couples, plenty to do.”

Lovely location, easy to get to and not impacting on the environment.

“Timeless luxury and experience in a unique location”

One of a kind experience in Namibia. Settled on stones, it felt like something out of movies. Great hospitality from entrance, welcomed with hot towels. Wonderful staff from all ends, from managers, waiters, and others, to our amazing personal guide Rony, who made our whole stay more enjoyable! A true friend during our stay. Every staff made our stay better, and we wish each of them all the best and thank them for being always available for us. All of their activities provided were fun and enjoyable… Sunrise and sunset drive, horse riding, etc. Food was exceptional. Very clean rooms and property. At the end of the stay, we agreed that this was the best hotel all of us have ever stayed at. Real luxury from start to finish. All recommendations go to this place.

“Amazing experience on the mother continent”

“Very romantic. Very private. Very exclusive.”

“A wonderful and unforgettable experience”

It was worth making the long trip to the hotel because the location, accommodation, and scenery were amazing. The hotel's decor meticulously followed the style of the 1920s and 1930s. The hotel offers guests a variety of recreational opportunities, allowing everyone to find a suitable way to relax. You can spend your time at the pool area, visit the gym, get a massage or spa treatment, or enjoy outdoor movie screenings - or simply spend your time admiring the incredible scenery. The excursions were diverse. The hotel's food was excellent. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive to the guests' wishes. We felt that our well-being was very well taken care of throughout our stay.

“Thank you to the team especially Jacques, Selma, Frans and Frans for making our Christmas so special”

There is so much I could write here I don't know where to start! Sonop was without doubt the most wonderful place I have ever stayed. The surrounding desert is so beautiful, it's an adventure just driving to the property. I have never stayed in a hotel so beautifully appointed, the rooms were perfect down to every detail and were extremely comfortable. At night I would return to my room and find a hot water bottle in my bed and slippers ready for me to wear, every need was considered and catered for. As for the people who work at Sonop, you couldn't wish for more lovely people, everyone was so friendly, so caring, I cried when it was time to leave! On top of this the excursions that are available from Sonop are truly magical and unlike anything I had ever experienced before. The food was also amazing, the chef was absolutely brilliant! I honestly can't say enough good things about Sonop, I hope that I will get the chance to visit again one day! Sitting outside my room with a cup of tea, watching Oryx trek across the desert, is something I will remember and treasure forever! Thank you again to all at Sonop xx

An amazing location, with stunning views all around. Love the age-gone-by explorer feel to the tented buildings and decor - Out of Africa comes to mind. Very comfortable bed and rooms. Very helpful and friendly staff. Really enjoyed the dawn drive. A very memorable stay that we will look back on in the future as a standout in our many travels!
