"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
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

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
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

We did a self-walking trail, which I highly recommend, and a visit to the San Bushmen Living Museum with a guide. Absolutely amazing experience!! The only regret was that we stayed for only 1 night." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

All the facilities here were first rate. The food excellent, the staff very accommodating.
We were excellently guided to see the painted rocks, their history and speculation on their meaning. On our night walk we enjoyed learning much about the geology and botany of the area." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

Visit to the well preserved paintings a highlight together with a visit to San Living Museum.
A special attraction were original carvings displayed in the lodge itself." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
Game drive found no animals, but a beautiful sunset and nice sundowner drinks. Various beautiful rock art paintings. Having paid for this excursion, we walked alone the next morning and found plenty more rock art close to the camp for free. No-one had told us about this.
The camp had a lot going for it but just lacked atmosphere." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"A convenient overnight stay "
While we were warmly welcomed this welcome was interrupted by a more senior person who seemed not to trust the welcomer. It seemed to us that the staff performed their duties but not with the enthusiasm or joyfulness we had enjoyed previously.
When settling the bill, we were asked if we would like to give something to the staff (the only place that actually did this) and a tray was indicated that was not the 'offical' locked box.
Dinner was an on ok set menu 4 course meal. Of course it is catering to a much bigger guest list than the other places we stayed." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa
