Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
After having seen so much free-roaming animals, it was a bit dissappointing to see cheetahs in an enclosure. However, these cats are not easy to spot and this was the only chance we had to see them, which we greatly appreciated. We had the chance to see them getting fed from really close by.
The food was ok and the room was nothing special. The place was a good stop on our way from Wolwedans back to Windhoek in order to make the drive a bit less heavy.

We enjoyed the cheetah experience. We hadn't seen cheetahs on any of our previous game drives in Zambia. And, to watch them get fed was neat.

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
Well managed and we were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff.
The Cheetah feeding and sun downer before dinner was a nice experience.
Good stay at Bagatelle
Good to be able to walk around by ourselves and get a feel for the area around the camp.

Lovely property. Wished we could have stayed a second night. Two nights would definitely be preferable.
Interesting game viewing, nice chalets and good food and wine.
Managers and staff were very welcoming.
Our wonderful Out of Africa experience.
Although this ranch did not have a variety of game it was a wonderful stopover. Unfortunately for us we only one night here. The main house was reminiscent of 'Out of Africa' and was definitely a favourite for us. Tame springbock joined us for breakfast.
The sunset game drive was most enjoyable complete with sundowners with a very good guide. Would love to go back!
Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
We were warmly received at the ranch and the staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows were beautifully situated and well appointed. The courtyard in which we had dinner was very atmospheric although the food itself was only average.
We were not totally convinced about the scientific basis for the cheetah sanctuary however and as a game ranch it was very limited. It would be hard to imagine staying there multiple nights.

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
We stayed in one of the wooden chalets built on stilts, which enjoyed a wondeful view of a small waterhole. We did the game drive in the afternoon which was very enjoyable.
Evening meal was a buffet affair which was very good. Staff were very accommodating. Lovely place to stopover on trip south.
Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
Very disappointed - nowhere near as good as my last visit in 2006. Desultory welcome - I arrived first as couldn't get car with two passengers up sandy road. When the others arrived their welcome drink was shambolic - and the dirty glasses were still at the front door when we left the next day!
Swimming pool water looked most uninviting so we didn't swim. Introduction to chalets and help with luggage was poor on both counts. Dinner was such a disappointment because 5 years ago all the guides and co-workers were about and chatty and encouraged discussion/interaction and very informative re Bagatelle and Namibia generally.
They did take care over my meal so that's very good but the food was unappetising, meat was overcooked - my guests all shared mine, and the veg etc were all over cooked. The serving staff and the maitre d appeared disinterested - I think this is because they made NO effort at speaking to us. Wouldn't go back or recommend.
The rooms however remain lovely.
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
