"Kalahari Anib Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 5 Nov 2023
"The reception staff were all very friendly and we were escorted to our room. Our room overlooked the small waterhole although we didn't see anything there during our stay. Our room was massive and there was also a spare room.

We had lunch when we arrived ordered at the bar which was delicious. The breakfast and evening meals were served in a large dining room and were buffet style. Everything we had was really good with lots of choice. Only negative was that there wasn't enough sunbeds to sit around the pool." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Convenient location for travelling south. Rooms and food fine. Decent pool. Pleasant walking tracks.
Seems to cater mainly for tour groups but this didn't impact on us.
Very understaffed when checking out. We were delayed by approximately 15 minutes." See all these reviews: 30n in Namibia

"Kalahari Anib Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 21 May 2022
"The service was very friendly. The Lodge is perfectly located in an area just at the beginnig of the Kalahari with great opportunity to spot animals and possiblity to walk and bike.

The sundowner excurison was fantastic we spotted a lot and the colors of the sunset was great.

Accomodation is rather simple but very functional and nice rustic style.

We like the dininig area and the buffet dinner had a very high quality and plenty of choise.

The bar is also a great spot for a lunch and for a post dinner drink in front of the fireplace." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
