A beautiful place if you’re looking for solitude and enjoy swimming or drinking. If, however, you’re not a drinker or swimmer then there’s not too much more to do apart from taking walks. No fridge or TVs in the rooms. Meal was buffet style so if you didn’t like much on the menu you still had to pay full price. For me, personally, it didn’t work somI transferred to the Namibian Desert Lodge which, in my opinion, was much better.

Fantastic place
Amazing! There was a eland in the yard right outside our door. There were about a dozen people singing at our dinner which made a wonderful dinner even more memorable. The room was beautiful. I highly recommend this property.

Nice lodge, quiet town
Lovely lodge, helpful staff and very kind and friendly nice walks nearby. Sundowner drive a bit uneventful - and I imagine it's usually the case--but the drinks and guides were all a treat. One note is that they had trouble finding our reservation.. It took several minutes and staff to eventually find tit. Not sure if this is due to booking on a third party site vs directly.

Nice Lodge in the desert
This attractive Lodge was a welcome sight after a long drive. The pool was inviting Ona hot summer day. The food was fabulous as was the setting. Watching the sun go down and the animals coming up to the deck where we were eating.

Lovely hotel on the edge of the Desert.
The lovely hotel is in a private game reserve. The staff is friendly, the rooms are spotless, decorated with copper and wood and fitted with a modern bathroom and a comfortable and relaxing front patio. Sitting in the bar lounge and watching the animals drift by while enjoying a cocktail with the setting sun as the back drop makes for a special evening only to be enhanced by eating a delicious dinner under the stars on the deck of nearby dinning room.

Great desert experience in luxury
The location and facilities are great and the buffet dinner at ND300 is well worth it. We also enjoyed the game drive, but note that the afternoon drives can book out early. We also took the self guided walking tour and were surprised how many animals we saw. Being a lot quieter than the drive allowed us to get quite close to them.

Convenient accomodation for our holiday circuit. Hotel was clean and staff were freindly. The thing that will stick in our minds about the one night stopover was the after dinner singing provided by the catering staff.

Oase in der Wüste
Dies war der erste Stopp auf unserer Namibia, Rundreise und einfach nur zum wohlfühlen. Wir hatten Glück und unsere Lodge ging zur Wüste hinaus. Den tollen Service, die Getränke und ein leckeres Abendessen haben wir sehr genossen. Das Highlight war die Sundowner Tour mit John „Rambo“, bei der es 3 Stunden auf einen Game Drive mit anschließendem Sundowner ging. Einfach großartig!

Lodge con vista sul Kalahari.
La struttura è molto bella e ben curata, la camera era meravigliosa e il portico con vista aperta sul Kalahari era spettacolare. Servizio eccellente, colazione nella media, poteva essere più varia e buffet a cena con diverse proposte per tutti i gusti, sempre nello standard namibiano in cui si predilige la carne.

Aanrader!!!!
Super mooi verblijf, zeer vriendelijk personeel, de sunset drive is erg leuk (in de winter erg koud, warm aankleden), veel dieren gezien! Het lopendbuffet was zeer variërend, erg lekker! Dat geld voor ontbijt en diner. We verbleven in een familie kamer, de kinderen hadden een eigen kamer. Wc en douche zijn apart.

Alles in allem ein gelungener Aufenthalt
Die Lodge ist schön etwas in die Jahre gekommen und die Zimmer könnten eine Renovierung vertragen, allerdings war unser Zimmer sehr sauber und das Bett bequem und mit gutem Moskitonetz ausgestattet, zum Glück, denn wir hatten sehr viel Mücken im Zimmer. Ein Fön war zwar vorhanden, konnte aber nicht benutzt werden, da der Stecker in keine der Steckdosen passte. Die Terrasse hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr gut, das Personal stets freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir haben den Sundowner-Drive mitgemacht, das war toll, können wir in jedem Fall empfehlen.

schöne Lodge am Rande der Kalahari
Die Anib Lodge ist eine sehr schöne Lodge, die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit direktem Blick aufs Wasserloch, es kamen jedoch sehr wenige Tiere. Überhaupt sind der wenige Tiere auf dem gesamten Gelände zu sehen. Man kann die Lodge bedenkenlos weiter empfehlen.
