Sossusvlei Lodge Restaurant
An open-air braai buffet at the Sesriem park gate, with a range of game meats grilled on the spot. It is the most popular dinner choice for visitors to the dunes.
Located beside the Sesriem gate of Namib-Naukluft National Park, the restaurant ranks first among Sesriem restaurants on Tripadvisor. Dinner is a buffet with a live grill and a stir-fry station. Choices include gemsbok, kudu, zebra, ostrich and warthog, along with beef and chicken. Starters, salads, cheeses and desserts are self-serve. Seating is on an open-air terrace under the stars, which can be chilly at night and dimly lit. Guests from the nearby Desert Camp and Sossus Oasis campsites often dine here, so booking ahead is recommended. The management's listed prices are about NAD 435 per person for the dinner buffet and about NAD 275 for lunch, with drinks extra. Reviews are mixed: the grilled meats are widely praised, but some diners find the other dishes average.
