"Location was amazing overlooking a waterhole frequented by animals.
Staff were wonderful and food excellent.
We only stayed one night unfortunately however we did 3 nights at a sister lodge (outpost) and the quality was the same. "
"Wonderful location on margins of Kalahari desert. Make use of hiking trails of partner lodge 8km away, where we saw giraffes and other animals. Tented lodge accommodation wonderful, but it did get extremely cold at 3 degrees during the night, so minimally ask for an extra blanket depending on the weather forecast. Swimming pool should be closed to save water, extremely cold. Dinner was good quality cooking, but European-international food, not what we have come to Africa for. At least have an...
"Subtle, modest, room and facilities located in the beautiful valley between two red dunes. Very clean - room and the surrounding. Crispy white linen with a nice embroidered with two deer. We really relaxed the stay of two nights. The morning San walk was great and included in the room price. "

Equipped with every comfort, the restaurant dinner and breakfast are excellent. Extraordinary location. Superb cleanliness, even the pool deserves a mention. Highly recommended."
"We arrived late due to car trouble and Namibian border trouble; Stephanie met us on the road after 10 pm and showed us the way in. Breakfast was wonderful, staff friendly and helpful."

"Wir haben eine Nacht in der Unterkunft verbracht, um am nächsten Tag von dort in den KTP zu fahren. Die Grenze zu Südafrika ist nur 15 km entfernt. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen und wohl gefühlt. Als Pärchen bekamen wir ein großzügiges Familienzimmer, welches sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet war. Das vorab gebuchte Dinner war das beste, was wir während unserer 16-tägigen Reise gegessen haben. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir würden dort jederzeit wieder übernachten und...

"We were there in February (Namibian summer) so it was hot in the tent during the day, and the huge water-filled cooling thingy (don't know what it's called) didn't help at all, if anything it made the tent hotter not to mention the noise it made. We decided to just open the windows and through in the warm breeze. It was better once the sun had gone down. Otherwise it was a great stay. Staff were nice and friendly and we enjoyed the sundowner game drive."
