"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
However we felt this was the most commercial of the places that we had stayed in and the attitude of some of the staff was noticeably worse than we had come to expect during our trip." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"We wish we could have stayed longer"
The food was very good and the staff very helpful and friendly. Our dune chalet was very comfortable with a beautiful view." See all these reviews: 23n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
I went on the early morning game drive and was the only one on it - perfect as I could ask the very helpful guide to stop whenever I wanted to take photos. My wife didn't accompany me as we'd just heard that our granddaughter had been born (late, should have been before we left home!) and remained glued to the internet. So grateful for the wi-fi and mobile phone signal which we didn't get on other parts of the trip.
Only disappointment was not seeing the meerkats as this seems to be promoted as a highlight at this location. Questions about this were met with ambiguous replies, we wonder if they're no longer there but they're not admitting it?
Although the staff were friendly this was the least personal of all the private lodges." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

They have a very natural piece of land, very unadultered, which is fantastic. The food was delicious and the room was comfortable." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia
"Good stop over"
Game drive very pleasant and best sundowner overlooking desert scenery, but guide was a lacking a bit in enthusiasm. We did see more animals than expected including giraffe which was quite special. No Meercats as grass too high, but did see a mongoose close to reception. Unfortunately water was not working due to damaged pipe the morning we left so unable to use bath with a wonderful view! Probably a good thing as water a scarce asset in Namibia, but a shower would have been good before a 6 hour drive.
Horse riding looked fun, but we only had an overnight stop." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Friendly Springbok"
Would recommend the game drive. Sadly cheetahs only kept as a tourist attraction but they are well looked after.
Look out for the friendly springbok around the lodges. There is also an oryx which likes to say hello but he was off on his wanders." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
