"Stunning location at Ai Aiba"

1 night Arrived 8 Aug 2022
"As a one night stop off on our way back to the airport we were taken aback by the stunning location.

The staff were very accommodating in assisting us with the on-line check in for our flight home." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Unworldly location in a landscape that is unlike any I have seen.

Huge boulders forming hills which light up in the sunrise and sunset. Good short walking trails with bushman paintings to be seen.

Activities include guided walks and drives, both were very enjoyable." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 25 May 2022
"Have previously stayed at Erongo Wilderness Lodge in this area so had an idea what to expect. Good accommodation and food.

Helpful staff - a guide advised us on finding a black mongoose - though we were unsuccessful! No negatives - possibly a few too many tourists for us.

We have been to Namibia before and have rather specific agendas. Hence, we tend not to go on organised tours - preferring to do our own thing without other people - and didn't fill out the sightings booklet." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 11 Mar 2022
"Ai Aiba was a .. on our trip around Namibia about 3+hrs from Windhoek. The lodge was very comfortable and the staff welcoming and friendly. The local area is fascinating in respect of the scenery - the balancing rocks interspersed with variably vegetated valleys. Sunsets were especially lovely.

Food was excellent, our room very comfortable and the pool very welcome. Walking in the bush was excellent with great local birdlife and the chance to look at various nearby rock art sites. Our nature drive - a mixture of rock art and wildlife and flora - was first class." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 26 Aug 2021
"The lodge was disappointing, especially the food (very basic and not very healthy).

The rooms are too close to each other so one can hear conversations.

On the positive, the location is beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

The lodge is showing its age, though everything in the room did work." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Ai Aiba Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 21 Aug 2021
"The lodge was very good and I'm glad I decided against spending the first night in Windhoek.

Saw some nice wildlife and enjoyed the rock art on the sundowner drive. Went on the trail by camp the following morning; scenery was impressive though the rock art wasn't as good as the night before.

Food was ok - everything was covered in a lot of sauce." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Probably one of the most beautiful lodge settings we've seen! Staff was excellent and food delicious.

We did a self-walking trail, which I highly recommend, and a visit to the San Bushmen Living Museum with a guide. Absolutely amazing experience!! The only regret was that we stayed for only 1 night." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
