Kalahari Game lodge is situated in the south west, a less visited part of Namibia. It is reached after a long drive through fascinating landscapes and is worth the journey. On arrival you are greeted by friendly staff and welcomed to a well equipped, clean room with sumptuous views, where you can see and soak up the sounds and smells of nature. Springboks and other antelopes graze in front of your patio as the sun sets. Guided drives including to the see the rare desert lions, self guided drives and unlimited walks where you will encounter not only antelopes but many bird species, meerkats and ground squirrels are all available. You can unwind in your room, in the lodge or in/by the swimming pool. A 3 course dinner of delicious, creative food is available and the chefs expertly catered for my food allergies and being vegetarian. Unlike in many establishments, including in Europe, they went out of their way to not only keep me safe but provide exciting, tasty food. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful weekend.…

We stayed 3 nights on the campsite Luiperd and enjoyed the days with self-guided scenic/gamedrives (and saw a lot including a Cape Cobra and Bat Eared Foxes!) and one morning the lion tracking which was amazing, in my opinion a little bit to close to the lions (to disturb them less) but we saw both prides and they are so majestic animals. The pool was clean, it was quiet and very relaxing. Due to the good rains (we also had the first camping night with rain) there was an awesome contrast with the red dunes, high green gras and the cloudy sky, just perfect!

We were a family of four and had an excellent experience, we did the lion tracking, the self drive and stayed at the camping site and chalets. The staff is very friendly and caring. When the Mata Mata border post will be open, it will be even more interesting being able to go to the transnational park for a day trip

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear you had an overall enjoyable experience at the lodge. The closure and continuous closure of the Mata Mata border is very unfortunate and we also hope that they will open soon. Kind Regards, Management

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We would also have loved to have you stay another night - just thankful the campsite is so busy that it was actually filled to capacity. Will think about your suggestion of more campsites ;) Hope you can visit us again soon. Kind Regards, Management

We enjoyed the stay a lot. The camp site was great (solar power would be even better than a donkey). The Lion Tracking was quite focussed. We drove in my opinion too close to the animals. They felt uneasy with the close approach. Food was really nice.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. At our campsites we did have solar geysers placed at each campsite but in the Kalahari winter and during the rainy season when there is some days without sun they turned out not to be effective at all. We then placed the donkeys boilers as an addition so that these can be used in during the months the solar was not up to the task. Unfortunately our guests could not resist tampering with the setup which split these two unit's waterflow and we had so many complaints of hot water not being available at the campsite that the solar geysers were removed and the donkeys kept as they can at least be used all year round. We would also have preferred to rather use the solar option. On our lion tracking we use one specific game viewer each time and the lions have become so used to this vehicle that it is no longer a distraction for them. As soon as another vehicle is used they become agitated and does the driver not go too close to them. We do respect their space and take their temperament into consideration when doing our lion tracking activity. Kind Regards, Management

We had a wonderful stay at Kalahari Game Lodge and were welcomed by friendly and helpful personnel! This was definitely one of the most memorable and beautiful lodges we've been to. A beautiful setting on the Auob river. We particularly enjoyed the dinners at night under the clear skies! Lovely wheather! Not cold or too hot. The food and service was outstanding and we really were spoilt! We'll be back!

Unfortunately we could only spend 2 wonderful nights. The lodge is located in a sensational landscape. Directly from the bungalow the animals can be observed. A Lion Tracking Tour is highly recommended (absolutely professional guide - wonderful animals!) The staff was very accommodating and well trained. The food was excellent. We can highly recommend the lodge! Thank you very much for the good time - we will come again!
