"An efficient stop in the Kalahari"

1 night Arrived 30 Jun 2008
"Kalahari Arms hotel was fine, actually better than expected, comfortable and clean rooms with space and OK food. But there is absolutely nothing to do there except go to the supermarket and stay in the hotel." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana

"A useful Stop over hotel"

1 night Arrived 6 Oct 2007
"Found entry into the actual hotel difficult to find particularly on a Saturday afternoon when the bar was busy but once we gained access found it to be more secure than first expected.

Disappointed with the town itself expecting more of a place to walk around but didn't feel safe. Accom was adequate in grassed grounds and restaurant was good." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana
