Kalahari Game Lodge

The accommodation was great, and the location with the waterhole was beautiful.

“Ein wunderschöner Ort zum Entschleunigen und Wohlfühlen!”

We spent three wonderful nights at Kalahari Game Lodge and would have loved to stay longer; every staff member was incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive, and even when we were the only guests one evening, everything was made available to us, making us feel fully welcomed and well cared for. The rooms were beautifully furnished and inviting, though the bathroom lighting could have been a bit brighter for our taste. Dinner was delicious every night, even with the set menu of one main dish and dessert, and it was prepared to perfection; a highlight was the best schnitzel we’ve ever had 😍. The surroundings were simply dreamy for a proper break, allowing us to watch animals all day, enjoy the calm, and slow down wonderfully—exactly what one expects from a getaway in the Kalahari. A special experience was the Sundowner Drive with Nelson, who was fantastic, and we enjoyed tasty snacks and a great selection of drinks, letting us savor the sunset in that gorgeous landscape. In short, a lodge with heart, excellent food, beautiful atmosphere, and a setting that instantly soothes; we felt completely at ease and would definitely return. There is nothing to criticize.

“nahe am Paradies”

I was struck by the picturesque Kalahari dunes, far away from the tourist crowds of Sossusvlei. The bungalows are charming and spacious, arranged so that you feel completely alone in the world, like the character in a Loriot sketch who just wants to sit there. And all of this comes at an unusually low price. On the downside, if you’re looking for a flawless experience, you’ll be disappointed: the Wi‑Fi in the room doesn’t work, which is tolerable, and the wildlife isn’t as abundant as in Etosha, but that’s to be expected in the Kalahari.

“Dormir dans une réserve”

The lodge is small but located inside a huge reserve. Even though the cabins might seem less luxurious than those at other lodges, they’re very comfortable and well equipped (fridge, kettle, coffee maker). The cabin’s tiny terrace lets you watch animals from the riverbank, but the best spot is still by the water point just in front of the pool where ostriches, zebras, oryxes, springboks, and kudus come to drink. You’ll also see many small mammals like prairie dogs, mongooses, squirrels, and of course the meerkats, with the little Mia being the proud representative. Orphaned and raised among humans, she happily greets passing tourists. We didn’t have any guided excursions during our stay, but we did a self‑guided 4x4 tour. It was a fantastic drive where we saw all the previously mentioned animals plus elands and giraffes. No major difficulties; you don’t need to stress even if you’re not used to driving on sand dunes. Special mention to the staff who were very attentive. Contrary to what I’d read elsewhere, the dinner (single menu) was very good and filling—dessert could have been omitted! Perhaps that was revised after those comments. The only issue was that there was no wifi or cellular network during our stay because the cell tower was out of service, leaving no signal within 50 km. It’s a remote area, so repairs take some time. Keep that in mind if you have important deadlines—do it beforehand!

“Wer sehr kleine Lodges mit Lage mitten im Busch schätzt, ist hier richtig”

We were blown away by the stunning location of this lodge, right in the heart of the Kalahari desert. The chalets are bright and airy, with a fridge to keep our drinks cool, and the game drives were an absolute thrill - we saw all sorts of amazing animals, from springbok to zebra. The only thing that would have made our stay even better was a few more amenities, but as it was, we were perfectly happy.
