"A great stop off point on the way back to Windhoek but more than just a stop off - a friendly and welcoming resting place with clean and comfortable rooms and probably one of the best meals we had in all of our holiday." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Kalahari Bush Breaks review"

1 night Arrived 11 Aug 2021
"I really enjoyed my time at Kalahari Bush Camp, really relaxing after a lot of driving. The owner was so helpful when one of my companion's covid test results were held up.

My room was great, the meals were great, and the setting was fantastic. The rooms have little private patios in the back looking into the bush - I saw waterbucks and warthogs very close up from mine. There is an irrigated lawn with large trees between the dining area and the bush where there were many new birds for me. A good number I saw no where else. I'd have enjoyed an extra day here, just to relax and watch birds.

Perfect location to stay while waiting for covid test results needed to cross into Botswana." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Lovely homely feel"

1 night Arrived 30 Dec 2017
"Although the owner was away, our host made us most welcome, was friendly & eager to please.

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"

1 night Arrived 8 Nov 2013
"We reached KBB just after lunch time, directly from Maun, Botswana. We had planned to re-fuel our car still in Botswana (€0,40 / litre less), but the Charles Hill Engen garage just before the Mamuno border was out of petrol. Obviously everyone does it!. So, on future trips we may re-fuel at the newer Shell station, just after the A3/A2 turnoff, which apparently was full of petrol but no cars!

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
