Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our 2 night stay in the Dune 2 chalet! Room was well appointed with an excellent view of a waterhole and the Khalahari desert - saw wildlife out the window everyday. Enjoyed the Night and Combo Game Drives with our outstanding guide, Gabriel - very knowledgeable and engaging with guests. Saw rhinos, giraffe, kudu, Hartebeest, eland, springbok, steenbok, maribou stork, oryx, zebra, and more. Outdoor dining area is set up as a Boma and nicely lit - dinners were very good!"

10/10 Excellent
"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."

"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. "
