"Great Staff!! Thank you! "
** We had vehicle issues on our way to the airport and the Mgment send a vehicle and driver to rescue us - enabling us to get to the airport without missing our flights. A Huge thank you to Chaimberlain, and to the Management at Red Dunes - we very much appreciate the extra efforts provided to us, and will highly recommend the lodge for such great customer service!"

"Pleasant for a stop-over"
When we arrived we were told that the evening drives were already full. This wasn't really an issue for us, but corroborates EA comments on the site. Instead, we chose to follow the 1 hour ("Red Dam") walk, where we saw Wildebeest, Zebra and Oryx at the dam. In places the trail was not well marked, and we ended up navigating by dead reckoning.
The staff are very pleasant, but slightly less personal than at some of the smaller lodges we stayed at later. Food was very good, with a good wine list. Overall, a pleasant place to spend a night, but with a rather artificial feel, not a lodge that we would want to stay longer at." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Excellent"
"Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge review"
Good food with the fire lit in the evening. We arrived just 10 mins prior to the departure of the sundowner, but we were able to join.
Our gluten free diet was respected." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Great stay and Trans Kalahari Walk "
We did see our first Aardwolf on the evening drive! Like many Namibian lodges, the main course tends to be red meat/ game and there is no choice. We asked for an alternative but didn’t get a response at the table, so beware, you need to request the dinner menu at check in." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge review"
The lodge is beautifully arranged and furnished and service was excellent. It is hard to judge the wildlife experience because it felt they were suffering in the drought like a lot of places. We opted to go out on the bikes which we really enjoyed. A sandstorm rather dominated our afternoon here but did not ruin the experience." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
