"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
If you do the rock art walk behind the Lodge by yourself be aware it is not so much a walk as a scramble up the rocks! And that if you want to see the rock art you can actually do so without having to do the scrmable as it is easily accessible if you ask where the walk ends and head there instead along the road.
Problem with the bill when we checked out as they tried to charge us for a guided walk they said one of us had done and the drink they said that person had had as a sundowner. They also charged us for a second bottle of wine we had not ordered." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

Very friendly and really helpful staff. Breathtaking sunset.
We loved our guided walk to the live Museum of the San People and what we learned about their culture and life style.
We also appreciated the rock art they showed us." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

We saw a lot of animals here, both around the lodge (small ones) and when we did a guided drive. The guided drive enabled us to see a range of animals that don't come near the lodge and ended with a sundowner - perfect!
We enjoyed that we could go on self-guided walks which included rock art." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"
The rooms were a bit dark and also could use a refresh as they are looking worn and a bit dated. It was fantastic to have the chairs on the patio in front of our room to watch the birds and also have our sundowners.
The staff at the lodge were fantastic. Very accommodating. The guides, especially, were super knowledgeable and personable.
While dinners were very good, we found the quality of some of the breakfast items could have been better, especially the yogurt and museli.
It would have also been good to have a bit of fresh fruit in the morning.
Its really the staff that made the stay extra special and also the stunning landscape. We would definitely recommend taking the sundowner hike." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

Also, the game drive was very well done.
As well as the wildlife listed below, we were pleased to see lots of warthogs and the tiny dik-dik antelope." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

Our room, an attractive thatched chalet with fabulous views, was large and well appointed. However, for the first time, the fridge was crammed full of drinks to purchase, so no room for our water bottles.
Here, we were told not to drink the water but one large bottle was provided.
Staff seemed a little young and inexperienced and restaurant was rather soulless, though food was good.
We did a slightly challenging self-guided walk on arrival, which we loved, then a little later did the complimentary guided sunset walk which was excellent and not quite as challenging.
The guide was entertaining and informative and carried all our drinks for sundowners on the mountain top, including nibbles!
We had a relaxing morning after breakfast and checkout, sitting around the pool enjoying the beautiful scenery." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
