“good for the great safari”

Reviewed 1 April 2013

Hotel area is very nice, with pool, gardening and nice buildings. Hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, but their safari is really worth going there and was the reason for us to go there. We saw some game and the safari ended with a very nice sundowner in the desert. Our room was very poor, one of the... More

“The lodge we enjoyed least”

Reviewed 7 January 2013

This was the last lodge we stayed in during our tour of Namibia and the one we enjoyed least. After the intimate lodges around Etosha and in the desert this is the only time we were confronted with mass tourism with large buses and equally large numbers of people. The room was OK but lacked space for our clothes. There... More

Thank you for your review of Kalahari Anib Lodge. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the sundowner drink on the magnificent dunes with us! We realize that it’s disappointing not to see wildlife up close, especially on a safari drive. However as we’re dealing with wild animals in their natural habitat, we cannot guarantee sightings nor can we control how the... More

“Beautiful lodge but risk of mass tourism; great sundowner”

Reviewed 1 January 2013

Quite a nice lodge in a perfect surrounding - hikes into Kalahari start at the Lodge entrance. A lot of rooms, and as a consequence frequented by large busses - looks like mass tourism after spending 2.5 weeks in small lodges. Diner and breakfast are very fine; introduction in English and (suspected a very elaborate version) local klick language (Herero?);... More

We appreciate your positive feedback on the food of Kalahari Anib Lodge. Although we receive a lot of guests at Kalahari Anib Lodge we try very hard to provide personalized service to all our guests and we do hope that you felt taken care of. Unfortunately it is very hard to control the noise levels of our guest at times... More

“Great location for starting or ending your trip”

Reviewed 24 December 2012

Firstly, this is not a small intimate lodge and its not that cheap either, however, it is a very pretty and convenient location to break up a long drive and offers a few unexpected surprises. We have stayed here before at one of the camping site which are great (even if the weather was not!), this time we wanted a... More

The way to the lodge is very easy, 10 km befor Mariantal left, 20 km on the paved road and then a entrance gate on the left and just 3 km sandroad to the lodge. Nice welcome with juice. We had luck and became rooms at the back and not the a room around the first pool. We had a... More

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the Kalahari Anib Lodge. The Hardap dam does not belong to the Gondwana Collection Namibia and thus we have no influence on the renovations that are being made there. Nevertheless, we hope that you enjoyed the hiking trails around the lodge and that you were able to see some... More

“Lodge? hotel? motel?”

Reviewed 1 November 2012

A strange mix of hotel, lodge and motel frequented by large coach and overland groups, Kalahari Anib Lodge is a large, clean and pleasant facility sporting some 50+ rooms, two swimming pools, a restaurant and bar serving set menus and various game drive options. Three campsites are available (N$150pppn) each with their own toilet, shower and shaded eating area, but... More

“Great location to start with”

Reviewed 18 October 2012

We stayed at one of the three campsite so we cannot fully assess the accomodations. The campsites are simply great, in my view the best choice you will find in Namibia, and you may need to make a reservation quite early. The rooms are much less directly located in the Kalahari, quite close to each other, several without a view... More

Thank you very much for your positive comment on Kalahari Anib Lodge. We would like to emphasize again: Our service and kitchen staff are always prepared to serve a second helping on request. More

“Last stay after two week trip - we were disappointed”

Reviewed 13 October 2012

Usually all trips through Namibia start from Windhoek to the south, and end at Etosha. We did it the other way round, so we ended up at Kalahari Anib Lodge at the end of our trip. The personel at the reception is very warm and friendly, but after some explanation about the lodge and the surroundings, before we saw our... More

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed review on Kalahari Anib Lodge. We apologize for our receptionist who obviously created some confusion concerning the payment.

“Nice stop before Windhoek”

Reviewed 3 October 2012

We spent one night here and enjoyed the sundowner drive. The Kalahari red sand, some animals and the sunset colors were worth the trip. Too touristic, if compared with Dolomite Camp or Grootberg Lodge, but nice location with friendly staff and good rooms.

“Excellent morning game drive”

Reviewed 25 July 2012

This is another Gondwana lodge. Fortunately we had a room with a view, but there are a lot without- specially round the pool. This is quite a big lodge, so expect more group tourists than individual travellers. Staff is performing well, dinner and breakfast are o.k., although nothing special. We arrived too late for joining the sundowner- drive, but early... More
