We loved Agama - beautiful views, deck, pool, rooms (especially being able to sleep on the roof under the stars). Amazing experience. Jan and staff helpful and friendly. Tough roads to and from the Lodge though!

The property was being renovated during our stay, so there was building noise and disruption, including closure of the pool and main reception area. The staff at check in, could not find our booking and looked a little lost. However the staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, our chalet was as advertised and the meals were well prepared and very nice. Once the building work is complete this will be a very nice and welcoming place to stay and we would consider returning in future.

Great lodge in wonderful setting.
We had a very memorable stay at the lodge. It was very peaceful and the views were stunning. The food was an adventure each evening and the best we have had in Namibia. Great hosts and a great place.

Well situated 45 minutes drive to Sossusvlei national park entrance (add another hour inside the pack to reach the dunes). Great food (loved the breakfast pack offered for early starts to the dunes). Friendly service. The rooms are huge, with a roof terrace for sunsets and a small pool to cool off after a long day.

Unbelievably great
Without a doubt one of the most magical places on the planet with great staff who cater to your every need. Lodges are well kept and everything is as it should be. Common area for all people to use wifi and wonderfully prepared food. I would recommend this place to absolutely any and every person. It's a must see

I loved staying at Agama!
The rooms are charming. The food was excellent. The lodge dogs are fun. Kudu, gemsbok and porcupine made their appearance. Sitting on the roof and watching the sunset reflecting on the mountains, while drinking Pinotage wine: can't be beat!!!

Lovely stay in a quiet but beautiful place
Excellent stay. They gladly accommodated our vegetarian dietary requirements. The pool was great respite from the heat, after a crazy tiring morning in the windy and hot sossusvlei. Chalets conveniently face the sunrise and have viewing decks on top for sun downers. Although it's not luxury accommodation, attention to detail in the facilities and chalets was really good. Highly recommend this place.

Lovely spot and absolutely delicious meals!
I wasn't sure when I first arrived if this would be a good visit, as the place was empty and very remote. But the room was lovely and, after heading off for the afternoon and returning in time for dinner, wow, I was sold. Dinner was superb, with the chef visiting every table to describe the menu and then stopping by again to check on the meal (which was excellent and plentiful). We wanted to be up and out the following morning to get to the sand dunes so left before breakfast was served, but they sent us off with a bagged breakfast. Usually these are pretty sad affairs, but the bag they provided included both a lovely selection of breakfast items as well as a sandwich and snack bar for lunch! The only issue with this place is that it is still a long way from Sesriem, so you have to be prepared to drive. 45 min to the main gates and then it's another 45 min from the gates to the Sossusvlei shuttle (and then 15 min on the shuttle to the final parking area).

Electricity comes and goes
The Hotel (room, lobby everything) is very basic and spartan, their electricity supply is unreliable and they don't have any any back-up generator themselves, because of that we had to spend the night without aircon. Food was good though, both the dinner and the packed breakfast.

Very good overall
Initial approach from the road may be a little offputting, but the owners are very helpful, rooms are comfortable with sunset views from the roofs ( accessed by stairways ), and the food is also very good - note you should book dinner as well as b & b, as there is no alternative within miles and you do not want to drive after dark ( that's true anywhere in Namibia - risk of animals on the road , etc )

Priced Fairly, Near Sossusvlei
45 minute drive to the gate of Sossusvlei park. Ladies who prepared and cleaned the rooms were wonderful! Such a delight to be in their company. The managers were knowledgable when questions needed to be answered in terms of logistics and traveling in Namibia. Yet, the female manager was a bit aggressive in handling her staff and clients - it put us off in our stay. Despite this, it was an excellent stay due to the other staff members and affordable stay in proximity to the park, unlike other lodges.

The place to stare at the stars
As soon as we arrived we had a very warm welcome from Monique and John.they are both very knowledgable about the area and the country,john is a guide and explained to us how to get to the gate in time for sunrise. He had checked the opening time and Monique had prepared a very good breakfast box for us. He also suggested to hv a lunch break at the lodge by the gate and use their pool which was a brilliant refreshing idea as it was very hot. They treated us like friends and we had two lovely pm with them ,Monique is a chef and the food was fabulous.sunset on the deck magnificent. We picked that place for the. Ed on the roof and what an experience to watch the stars from our bed drinking some champagne they had kept refrigerated for us,,!!!! Monique also organised two excellent restaurants for us in our next destination and that was a lovely touch.can only highly recommend the place and we will go back

Can't recommend Agama highly enough!
We were blown away but our experience at Agama. We had no idea what to expect and as we headed up the 'driveway' to the lodge it was clear we had arrived at a desert oasis. The place is beautiful, the bungalows are extremely comfortable, and the food was great, but what really made our time there was the team behind it. Jon and Monique, the wonderful couple who built the lodge, have put such care in to service that you feel you are a guest in someone's home. The fact that there are only 10 bungalows keeps the intimate feeling of the place. Staying there made our time in Namibia a richer experience.

Avis mitigé : - accueil, service, repas, chambre : positif, - environnement : négatif = l'établissement vient de changer de propriétaire et le site est en travaux (construction 40 nouvelles chambres - nous étions les seuls clients, les réservations étant arrêtées depuis fin janvier)...

L'accueil est très aimable et la salle à manger commune superbe avec un immense toit de chaume, et le silence est royal.A part çà nous n'avons pas aimé grand chose,nous avons trouvé les bungalows très vilains de l'exterieur et sommaires à l'interieur,le sol de la chambre fissuré,et la déco de bric et de broc,les miroirs tellement mal placés qu'on a de la peine à se voir.On surpaye la très relative proximité de Sossuvlev.Assez jolie vue sur le désert mais pas de sentier pour se promener,bref,une étape de l'après midi fade. Nous avons été déçus par le repas,le poulet au barbecue,cuit entier était cru à l'intérieur(le cuisinier aurait pu savoir qu'il faut le couper en deux)idem les légumes,cuits crus.On nous a demandé à l'arrivée nos restrictions alimentaires,nous avons dit pas de poivre et l'autre option,boeuf strogonoff était poivré,donc triste repas Dommage,la propriétaire est très sympathique

Hotel bom, estadia agradável. Café da manhã inglês típico, com pouca variedade. Seria mais interessante se fosse um buffet continental. O grande diferencial é o excelente chefe de cozinha (Sven) que além de ser uma figura, foi extremamente atencioso com os problemas que enfrentava com o carro que eu aluguei. Wifi "inexistente", queda de energia elétrica. Mas nada invalidou e experiência fantástica que tive nesse hotel.
