Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
This is an old favourite and hopefully a future destination to.
It gives a real introduction to a trip, there is plenty of wildlife to see and the guides and staff are very friendly.
Hope to return again soon.
Hidden and Exceptionnal place
Great location, great views, great Safari!

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
A lovely ranch. Nice reception, dining area. Highlight was the dinner which was excellent.
Rooms were fine, somewhat basic but suited us grand and the four of us were accommodated in the one chalet.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Good that kids were half price on activities.

Good welcome and great pool for tired youngsters after our car hire experience.

Great view of the dunes and wildlife from the boma, and boma very comfortable. However not a feeling of 'immersed in nature' as guide book states: peacock very noisy; donkey in the bar; 4-wheeler and horse noises/smells make if feel more like a farm. Restaurant staff not well-trained nor particularly friendly. No automatic porter service; needed to be requested.
strongly recommend the northern route to lodge if coming from Windhoek: this is marked on the brown highway signs, it gives a great view of the dunes, and best examples of social weaver bird nests we saw in Namibia.
Oryx for supper was badly overcooked though asked for rare (also over spiced). No complimentary wine as listed in guide book.
It rained!
Animals not quite as wild as in previous locations, supplementary feeding taking place.
A bit concerned about the number of dead animals we saw.
Our game drive was in pouring rain - in the Kalahari desert!
Night Drive at Bagatelle was amazing
We had great game drives at Bagatelle. We saw all the wildlife we had hoped to see and on the night drive we saw 5 aardvarks!!
Also lots of other unusual wildlife such as spring hares, aardwolf, bat-eared fox and zorillas.
Wish we could have stayed longer
We stayed here just one night which just wasn’t enough, this is a lovely hotel and has so much wildlife close by including the troupe of meerkats who live there. Views were incredible and the game drive was good with an opportunity to get out of the vehicle close to a group of giraffes. The cheetah reserve seemed well run and the dedication of the staff was obvious.

Very welcoming. Good food. Nice chalet overlooking the waterhole. Night drive is well worth doing.

Loved the upgrade to the Honeymoon lodge.
Once again, some of the activities felt contrived. Maybe we have had a lot of very good experiences and this was not in the top tier.
