"We absolutely loved Ai Aiba.

The main area is huge and has a lovely room where meals are served, on individual tables. The food was fabulous and we were really impressed by all the meals we had, more like what you might expect from a hotel kitchen than a lodge such a long way from the nearest town. The whole place felt slick and sophisticated.

There is a nice small pool and it's a peaceful spot to spend an hour. The view of the kopjes and distant mountains is wonderful.

Our chalet was comfortable and peaceful with a lovely view. There was AC, charging points and a fridge. We did have a power cut for about 15 hours but while they were working the facilities were impressive.

By this stage in our trip we had done a lot of safari and decided that we would use Ai Aiba for some relaxation. So we didn't do any activities during our 2 night stay apart from a self guided walk. This is signposted and was quite a steep climb up the boulders, without a path as such, and was quite challenging for someone in their late 70s. But the second half of the walk is either downhill or at ground level where there are some rock paintings. It takes about 1.5 hours.

The rooms are in a row of about 20 chalets and ours was the last one (19) despite our request to be as near to the main area as possible! The walk back to the main area is about 10 minutes on a gentle uphill slope. This is significantly easier than trying to move your car, which is parked directly outside your chalet. The road up/down is very narrow in places and once you've parked your car on arrival you really don't want to have to move it again until you leave."

"We enjoyed our time at Ai Aiba which came at the end of our fortnight in Namibia.

There was torrential rain for most of our time there which meant activities were slightly limited but we did manage to see the rock art on foot and enjoy an e-bike excursion.
The rain also gave us time to take a breath and reminisce about what a fantastic trip it had been.

The location in the Erongo Mountains is stunning and we loved the long ride from the main road out of Omaruru to the lodge (we stopped for lunch in Omaruru which was enjoyable and we felt added to our overall experience)." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Just stunning with giraffe coming up to the small waterhole right by the lodge - great drive in and out" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Another great place in a fantastic setting.

If you do the rock art walk behind the Lodge by yourself be aware it is not so much a walk as a scramble up the rocks! And that if you want to see the rock art you can actually do so without having to do the scrmable as it is easily accessible if you ask where the walk ends and head there instead along the road.

Problem with the bill when we checked out as they tried to charge us for a guided walk they said one of us had done and the drink they said that person had had as a sundowner. They also charged us for a second bottle of wine we had not ordered." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"Very beautiful place with lodges mingling with the surrounding landscape of red boulders on the Erongo mountains.

Very friendly and really helpful staff. Breathtaking sunset.

We loved our guided walk to the live Museum of the San People and what we learned about their culture and life style.

We also appreciated the rock art they showed us." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba was one of our favourite lodges, especially seeing the warthogs grazing on the grass outside the dining room! Staff were friendly and welcoming, our room was comfortable with a verandah from where we saw various antelopes and giraffes.

We saw a lot of animals here, both around the lodge (small ones) and when we did a guided drive. The guided drive enabled us to see a range of animals that don't come near the lodge and ended with a sundowner - perfect!

We enjoyed that we could go on self-guided walks which included rock art." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa
