Nice place in the Kalahari Desert. Very much enjoyed the sundowner and morning dune walk drives, lots of anmials to see. Very friendly staff and guides, nice shop. Rooms are a bit dated and rather small, though. Good choice of food at the dinner buffet.

Lodge was nice as all Gondwana Lodges. Rooms are nicely decorated and clean. Staff is really friendly and food is delicious. However, there are some points that we did not like: the AC is directly pointed towards the bed. We need to turn it off as otherwise we might get sick. they should place it somewhere else in the room.
Second point: tables for dinner and breakfast are only prepared inside. But all guests want to sit outside. At breakfast there weren‘t enough prepared tables so I didn’t had fork/knife or a coffee cup for almost 20 minutes…

Great way to experience the Kalahari
Relatively small rooms, but appointed so beautifully. The resort is attractive and although the reserve is relatively small (<20,000 hectares) compared to Okonjima,it’s significantly more affordable. Highly recommend doing the evening sundowner ride (extra charge, but worth it)

Almost always happy with service but this was not acceptable, from arrogant welcome at the front desk to breakfast personell uninterested in serving coffee. Not one smiling face at this place. Cannot recommend this lovely location if handled in this manner.

A beautiful place if you’re looking for solitude and enjoy swimming or drinking. If, however, you’re not a drinker or swimmer then there’s not too much more to do apart from taking walks. No fridge or TVs in the rooms. Meal was buffet style so if you didn’t like much on the menu you still had to pay full price. For me, personally, it didn’t work somI transferred to the Namibian Desert Lodge which, in my opinion, was much better.

Pur essendo localizzata nel deserto del kalahari è ben accessibile. All'interno molto.piacevole la sistemazione del complesso camere tutto attorno alla piscina centrale. Buona la possibilità del safari al tramonto. Buon ristorante dal quale durante la cena è possibile vedere antilopi che vengono ad abbeverarsi

Schön angelegte Unterkunft in der Kalahari-Region. Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Das Team war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Abendessen hatte eine sehr gute Auswahl und das Fleisch war trotz der Menge sehr gut gelungen.
Auf der Sundowner-Tour haben wir viel erfahren und auch viele verschiedene Tiere gesehen. Dabei wurde immer die Distanz zu den Tieren gewahrt. Pool, Spielplatz, Tier-Trails waren alle gut.
