Teufelskrallen Lodge

If you stay in this lodge you will certainly remember it. The tents are built on stilts and located on the top of small dunes which gives you superb views on either side of your lodging. The “hotel” only have six tents so no over crowding! Some tents cater for 2 and are a bit smaller but have the advantage of having a terrace on either side (others seemed bigger and désigne to accommodate a small family). Out tents were very comfortable and had all the amenities needed for a one night stop. The shower and the toilet are located outside at the end of a “pontoon” so best to have a shower in the afternoon with daylight, the view from the Throne is impressive! There are only 2 minor things that some travellers might be aware of: it’s a bit of hike from the car to the lodge (up the dune) with the luggage can be tricky for some. The restaurant, pool and reception are located a short drive away from the tents and driving back in the dark might be an issue for some. Otherwise the restaurant offered nice menu and staff were friendly throughout.

Perhaps a more correct rating would be 3 stars, but based on the very extraordinary kind service and warm welcome, we enjoyed the stay and would be happy to visit again. It´s inconvenient the lodge is approx. 3 km from the tents where you sleep during night and that the place is quite close to a not very nice / interesting town. Also, that guards are present in the camp at night (that they are needed). But additionally on the good side; very fast internet, nice dinner and nice pool area." Perfect stop close to main route to Windhoek
