It is a two hour ride from Windhoek to the town and a forty five minute ride down a terrible dirt road to get to the hotel. Also we had no WiFi until a guest of the hotel reset the router, and then again it was only by the office that we were able to receive it."

Ai Aiba - The Rockpainting Lodge

Ai Aiba - The Rockpainting Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"AiAiba provides a unique experience in the Erongo Mountain region. The hotel is beautiful and peaceful. We would have loved to stay here for a week, if possible. Longer stays are recommended, but we stayed one night as a midway stop between Etosha and Swakopmund. The hike from the hotel to see the cave paintings is well-marked, has amazing views (the sunset is spectacular), and has a lot of cave art paintings. We did not expect to see this many paintings in such a quiet, serene space, which is a nice surprise. The ability to participate in hiking, biking, and other outside sports is enjoyable for all age groups. For the hike, we never found #1 (probably our oversight). Seeing the baboon families on the rocks overhead is exciting and unique to the lodge. We also thought the lights lighting up the rock faces behind the hotel at night were beautifully designed. We highly recommend this eco-friendly hotel. The room can get very cold in the winter at night, but the thick blankets provided helped tremendously. If you are interested in learning more about in cave art in a scholarly way, buy the cave art book (Peter Breunig in collaboration with Gabriel Franke, 2023). There no better source of informative, scientific, and scholarly knowledge on the rock art in the area. The book is well-researched and clearly communicated through the writing, pictures, and diagrams. "
