"Lovely homely feel"
We had a beautifully designed room with a lovely verandah where we could sit & watch the game very close by & enjoy a sundowner.
The grounds were attractively maintained with lovely flowers & water features - a very pretty place.
The reception & open plan dining area with lovely wood tables was a delight to sit in." See all these reviews: 27n in Namibia; 1n in Botswana

"Kalahari Bush Breaks : genuine and friendly"
After checking in, Mrs. Barnard was very kind in arranging us some homemade biltong sandwiches , which tasted marvelously. At the end we even bought from her some homemade biltong.
The Lodge/ Guesthouse, is on a tranquil spot, and the service was attentive and friendly." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana

No activities as such were offered, but the dogs were entertaining (T-bone accompanied us on a short bush walk!), and nothing at all to complain about." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Kalahari Bush Breaks review"
The lodge and rooms are superb. The food was very good and there were soome good animal and bird sightings around. (Warthog, kudu and impala at the water hole) Impala outside the room window in the morning. It was sad we only had one night there." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"Great overnight stop"
Activities limited to viewing various antelope and zebra from 4WD or walking on well mapped and waymarked paths (which suited us). An excellent overnight stop on the B6 road. Not enough activities for two nights but perhaps worth arriving early or staying late the next morning." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
"Mixed feelings about Kalahari Bush Breaks"
We would have appreciated knowing beforehand that it is a game farm. This was the only game drive we went on where the animals ran off quickly when they spotted the jeep!
It was a very different 'food experience' to any of the previous lodges. It was also the only one that didn't serve bread or an hors d'oeuvre. They would have preferred it if we hadn't wanted a second helping from the buffet. And they got rather annoyed when it turned out that we wanted breakfast at a different time to what she thought we had said the day before. So our punishment was yoghurts over the use-by date in our packed lunch for on the way to the airport!
Although it was in pleasant surroundings, we may have enjoyed an overnight stay in Windhoek just as much. After all, the distance from Ghanzi to Windhoek wasn't all that long." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
"Very pleasant intermediate stop-off"
On the game drive,we were rather discontented that, in the rear of the vehicle, we were unable to hear the driver's comments. We were fortunate that the other passengers, a Dutch couple, relayed the dialogue to us.
We both felt that the owner, Barney,(?) really did not want to be involved with the guests." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana
