"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Friendly and very helpful staff." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
We took a game drive with the excellent Pedro and saw our very first array of wild animals. We missed the meerkats (apparently out foraging), but we managed to watch with one of the guides the last rugby test match of the Lions against the Bocks.
We would recommend this place to anyone, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, superb food and wine." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
The ranch is in a beautiful location and the staff were extremely helpful and catered to our every need. We stayed in one of the dune chalets which was gorgeous but in hindsight we would probably have been better off staying in one of the straw bale chalets as we were very very cold at night (even with hot water bottles!) - this is probably because these rooms are on stilts so have no insulation. We were there in the winter - i'm sure in the summer they'd be perfect.
The highlight of Bagatelle was definitely seeing the meerkats. The sundowner game drive we felt was overpriced and we didn't see much." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Relaxed tourist ranch with fair safari drive."
Game drive was well done but animals were limited and if we had gone the other way round and had seen Etosha etc. first would have been disappointing. As an example of a ranch, a good opener to our tour." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Food very very average, Location outstanding and can recommend the straw bale chalets - fantastic,
Did not have high chairs for our one year old, though were able to provide an earlier supper.
South African guide very knowledgable, if rather naive and opinionated as to what goes on in realitiy in Namibia re Cheetah Conservation - but perhaps I am being rather jaundiced, as sat next to a friend on the plane returning to England who had been staying on a farm where in the past 24 hours they had tracked and shot a lion, and trapped and shot a cheetah."

"We enjoyed staying here"
"One night stay - too short"
By staying two nights we surely could have taken more from the activities offered. It was a pitty not be able to see the Meerkats! Nevertheless the morning game drive was very rich and highy enjoyable. Pedro our homonymous guide was helpfull and tried to get us the elusive meerkats but unsuccessfully.
Overall : Bagatelle is highly recommended and is to be enjoyed for at least two nights." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
