"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
Excellent lodge cabins and restaurant. Staff were excellent - very attentive and helpful.
The (young) Eland we saw was in fact the food for a resident leopard that was being stored up a tree - unfortunately no direct leopard sighting, but they are there" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa

Huge boulders forming hills which light up in the sunrise and sunset. Good short walking trails with bushman paintings to be seen.
Activities include guided walks and drives, both were very enjoyable." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
Helpful staff - a guide advised us on finding a black mongoose - though we were unsuccessful! No negatives - possibly a few too many tourists for us.
We have been to Namibia before and have rather specific agendas. Hence, we tend not to go on organised tours - preferring to do our own thing without other people - and didn't fill out the sightings booklet." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

Food was excellent, our room very comfortable and the pool very welcome. Walking in the bush was excellent with great local birdlife and the chance to look at various nearby rock art sites. Our nature drive - a mixture of rock art and wildlife and flora - was first class." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

The rooms are too close to each other so one can hear conversations.
On the positive, the location is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The lodge is showing its age, though everything in the room did work." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
We understand that there’s always a vegetable-based starter option, ‘mixed seasonal vegetables’ with the main course and also a green salad – but the owners assure us that they’ll look at their food again with a keen eye on its ‘healthiness’.
Most recently they completed a “complete overhaul and refurbishment” just prior to the coronavirus pandemic. We’re sorry if the deliberately ‘rustic’ feel of the lodge appeared to these clients as the lodge ‘showing its age’.

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
Saw some nice wildlife and enjoyed the rock art on the sundowner drive. Went on the trail by camp the following morning; scenery was impressive though the rock art wasn't as good as the night before.
Food was ok - everything was covered in a lot of sauce." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
