"Convenient when travellling South"
The evening meal was served al fresco and the quality was good.
We stayed in a Dune chalet which had a wonderful view as they are elevated but are the furthest from the reception area.
You can ask to be driven to and fro but the walk was nice and not difficult unless you have a disability.
As with most accommodations in Namibia, you need to ask reception for a hairdryer to borrow during your stay." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
For dinner the same thing, but just with all tables busy. All staff was there, it's just that the owner seemed to create more chaos then bringing order, we left halfway into the dinner, despite great food." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Beautiful place"
"Well worth arriving for afternoon game drive"
We arrived early enough to get on the afternoon game drive & sundowner which were well worth doing. We had a very good, conscientious and knowledgeable guide; we got the impression that the others were too.
All staff were very friendly and helpful.
A very good start to the holiday and a realistic and excellent place to break the long journey south. It was also an introduction to driving on gravel and sand roads." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Our chalet had great views and we enjoyed the terrace. We thought the food was of a high standard.
We did not have time to book any activities but liked the short self-guided walk." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa
"Good accomodation but a bit artificial"
Stroking a cheetah was an unexpected experience!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Is it trying to attract "weekenders" from Windhoek.? This is the first place where on arrival we were presented with a list of activities and prices - also evident on a Tablet in our room.
We wanted to leave at 06:00 am - breakfast pack had been ordered but not ready on time - just minor irritations as was the poor waiter/waitress service for the Buffet evening meal." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
