"My least favourite place of my trip"

1 night Arrived 30 Aug 2012
"I did not like Bagatelle, I'm sorry to say.

I found the staff neither particularly helpful or friendly. I also very much disliked the keeping of three cheetah solely s for the benefit of tourists in an enclosure no bigger than a small English field." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"

1 night Arrived 1 Aug 2012
"After having seen so much free-roaming animals, it was a bit dissappointing to see cheetahs in an enclosure. However, these cats are not easy to spot and this was the only chance we had to see them, which we greatly appreciated. We had the chance to see them getting fed from really close by.

The food was ok and the room was nothing special. The place was a good stop on our way from Wolwedans back to Windhoek in order to make the drive a bit less heavy." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Our wonderful Out of Africa experience."

1 night Arrived 30 Jan 2012
"Although this ranch did not have a variety of game it was a wonderful stopover. Unfortunately for us we only one night here. The main house was reminiscent of 'Out of Africa' and was definitely a favourite for us. Tame springbock joined us for breakfast.

The sunset game drive was most enjoyable complete with sundowners with a very good guide. Would love to go back!" See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
