Great spot. Great chalets and views
Had problems with the air conditioning which took 3 visits to rectify but all in good grace and apologies all round.
Free bottle of wine offered as compensation which was good as temperature reached 40 degrees in chalet.
Relaxed start to our trip
Great welcome from the owners, an entertaining evening and wonderful dinner. Certainly a place we would return too. There are lots if plans and ideas from the new owners who have a passion for the place.
We loved the dune chalet room as you were surrounded by the warm colours of the kalahari and could enjoy the sunset.
Okay for one night
Perhaps we would have enjoyed our stay more if we had been in one of the chalets on the ridge. We had a wonderful early morning walk with three bushmen - booked the night before as an extra. It was fascinating.
However, on our return for a shower before checking out, they were working on the toilet (why could they not do so when we were out or after our departure ?). It was just rather irritating as we were not aware of any problem.
Expert Africa comments
Expert Africa forwarded these travellers' comments to Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch, who thanked the guests for their constructive feedback. They apologise for the disturbance when they arrived back from their Bushman Walk. A new member of the maintenance staff was not familiar with the time that guests check out and the maintenance team had not informed reception that they would be in these travellers' room at this time. Bagatelle will ensure that this will not happen again.
Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review
Sadly didn't arrive in time for the cheetah drive,but helpful staff, and nice dining area, Did enjoy their tame springbok. The dinner was good with attentive staff
Unfortunately their Meercats did not seem to be around,I don't think they quite realise what a tourist attraction they are!
Rostock have capitalised on their group,and everyone had called there for lunch to see them.
didn't stay long enought to do the place justice.

Well worth booking the stilted chalets - very spacious and well appointed with stunning views.

Welcoming. Comfortable with good service and food. Meerkats were the highlight !
Cannot comment on drives as not taken due to heading for Etosha.
My least favourite place of my trip
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.
Sand was so red, so clean
Sand was so red, so clean. Quiet atmosphere. Helpful people.
