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." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
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." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia

"Bagatelle"
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." See all these reviews: 26n in Namibia; 7n in Botswana
