Fodor's Expert Review Desert Grace

Namib Naukluft Park, Erongo, Namibia Fodor's Choice

When you see the sunset reflecting off the Namib-Naukluft Mountains from this elegant hotel, you’ll understand why this safari shabby chic establishment is done up in accents of dusty pink. From its restaurant and food stations at meal times to the geometric fire-and-water feature at the entrance, Instagram-worthy bar and lounge (called ‘One Night in Namibia’), and collection of large portrait photographs of everyday Namibians, this place is very photogenic. Each airy room is tastefully thought out and has all the necessary mod cons, including a floor-to-ceiling sliding door that looks out onto the horizon. The exceptional service will make you feel right at home.

PROS

  • decor gets 10/10 for originality and photo opportunities
  • excellent selection and quality of buffet meals and a la carte food
  • private plunge pool on room verandahs overlook grassy dunes

CONS

  • each room is very close to the next, yet still has privacy
  • an hour away from Sossusvlei
  • come for the location and landscapes, not so much for game viewing
