What our guests have said about this accommodation

J M Vos

the park was very beautiful with all the flowers in desert ! Amazing how much can flourish in august. It was a pity that the shop was closed and also that no guided tours were available. If there had been a a contact list of people willing to drive together planning of a longer trip would have been easier However the staff was very helpful and we managed to find our way.

Wesley Wills

I really enjoyed the park, the only criticism is that aspects of the entrance (by Sendelings) is not clean and tidy i.e. litter and rubble lying around. I understand that the park entrance is shared with a border post and mines but i believe all needs to remain tidy.

Brigitte Klose

We had a good stay in Sendlingsdrift.

Hester Nel

Great service from friendly staff. Neat and comfortable houses. Beautiful vast area.

Deon van Staden

The accommodation was perfect, the staff very friendly and helpful. The Richtersveld was an experience of a lifetime. I enjoyed it all. Thanks for everything.

Jane Fenner

We had a comfortable stay at Sendelingsdrif, with all the basic essentials necessary in our chalet and a nice hot shower! What did concern us however was a lack of sign in when immediately entering and exiting the Richetersveld. Given its remoteness, we think it would be a simple enough exercise to have a book available for visitors to enter car type and expected exit from park at which entrance and then sign out. Certainly would have given us some peace of mind as solo travellers. Beautiful scenery made for an exciting and amazing experience.

Ben Peyper

Late arrival was arranged. Only one chalet was given while two was booked. The next day refund was promised and initiated

Visagie J

The campsite at De Hoop is was very nice. The ablution facilities was clean and in good working order. It makes a big difference to have proper toilets and a shower (even though cold)

Keith Kovachi

We enjoyed the peaceful setting. The chalet was very comfortable with all the mod-cons, and a really nice shower! The staff were very friendly and helpful.

gary vasconcellos

we found the mine noisy but cottages clean and well equipped. The ferry experience was good and well managed

Ken Hagens

We had a great experience and will go back to Richtersveld. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the chalets and surroundings were comfortable and clean and we were dazzled by the beauty of the place. We did find it a bit hard to read the map in relation to the signs but after some puzzling we figured it out and managed to be on the roads we needed to be on. They signposting could be a little clearer I think! Our only complaint was one lady at the shop who was the rudest and least helpful person I've come across in a long time! She went out of her way, it seemed to us, to be as obnoxious as possible... She clearly had some kind of problem but she needs to grow up and keep it to herself!RegardsKen Hagens

Disappointed to say the least. Arrived at pond on Saturday 18 at about 12 noon. Nobody operating the pontoon. I also have not been told that there is only certain operating hours for the pontoon coming in from Rosh Pinah side. Had to find other accomodation and left Namibia the following day via Vioolsdrift.

We booked one of the most beautiful trips we've ever had through Safari.com. The service was excellent and uncomplicated. They catered to special requests, booked additional flights, and the accommodation (Simbavati River Lodge) was simply unbelievably beautiful. Our expectations were far exceeded, and we can only recommend Safari.com. We will definitely book our next vacation through Safari.com and recommend it to our friends. Many thanks, Nelia & Catherine!
