"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."

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
"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

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Beautiful area where we, among other animals, saw very special birds, like two giant eagle owls, a pygmy falcon and a Kori bustard! Special thanks to our guide Paul who is very enthousiastic (!!) and helpful. The manager, Cilas, and the restaurant staff are very friendly too.
Good food and a beautifully decorated buffet. This lodge really has style and offers service on a high level!" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Kalahari with Meercats"
Look out for the Meercats, they are great fun and if you take the time to sit still they will come right up to you.
Very good sun downer trip with great night skies. Equally take a bottle of wine up to the dune deck and watch the sun set from the edge of the camp." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
