"Nice location in the desert"
The location of the lodge and campsite was very nice. It is situated only a few kilometres from the main road, but the environment was totally different. The campsite was decent (not the best we've had), they are situated a short walk from the main buildings and from one another.
We joined the dinner buffet, which was excellent." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 1n in Zimbabwe
"Good stop on way down South"
The game drive into the Kalahari had a lot of people on the vehicle and the guide wasn't very attentive to photographers. And then the vehicles all went to the same location for the sundowner drinks so there were too many people present and we drove pretty much in convoy to the location."

"Great start to our Namibia trip"
We arrived mid afternoon and they cheerfully provided us with lunch even though the lunch service time was over. Dinner was a surprisingly good buffet and the staff sang and danced towards the end of the meal. It was a fun evening. The hotel is quite large and there were some tour groups but they could easily handle the food for everyone.
Our only criticism was of the bar lounge area. Although it's large and spacious, there were not enough comfy chairs. We had to perch on uncomfortable backless stools.
We did not have time to go on a drive or walk but the activities here look very interesting." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia
"Kalahari Anib Lodge review"
Staff there could not give a tuppeny damn about guests. Only reason we stayed there was to cut driving time to the airport. Should have driven on." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
These travellers explained that the main problems stemmed from a large group staying at the same time, whose needs appeared to override their own.
The Kalahari Anib team have offered their unreserved apologies. The issues have been discussed with the lodge managers and staff, who are now even more mindful of the need to make a conscious effort to be more sensitive towards the needs of individual travellers, especially when there are large groups in the lodge.
"Kalahari Anib Lodge"
Although they don't have any of the big cats here there is still a lot to see. There were a series of walks you could do alone that were easy and fun. There was lots to see, especially birdlife and it was nice to be able to wander about freely.
The chalet was very clean and comfortable and there was a lovely swimming pool. It was also very pleasant to sit out next to the fire at night watching the stars. The staff were very friendly and helpful and kept us going with a good supply of logs for the fire. Meals were lovely, the bar very good value and a very good selection at breakfast.
A very relaxing place to stay." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia
