"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
We liked the food ad the staff was very friendly. The evening trip to visit the park and beatifull sun down was very nic -also morning visit to the feeding of the animals.
Only remark - we had a dune chalet for 2 nights - because of location in hot december even with airco not to cool - later in the evening from 1Opm it was OK - maybe better a straw roof chalet.
Whe can recommend Bagatelle ranch ." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Straw Bale Comfort"
The rooms were beautifully appointed and very comfortable and it was a real change to eat urafrican style around a camp fire in the lapa. We thoroughly enjoyed our sundowner drive through the red dunes, meeting the resident tame springbok and oryx and our short drive around the cheetah compound." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
The food was good, and they have a nice outside dining set-up. Decided to head out early in the morning and skip the cheetah viewing opportunity, which in hindsight we regretted as we didn't see any cheetah elsewhere on our trip." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Local walking pleasant if relatively limited, but game drive excellent with a great variety of terrain and some stunning scenery as well as a reasonable range of wildlife. Shop quite well stocked and well priced, which was not realised till rather later in the trip!
Viewing platform on dunes provides for fine sunset scenery." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
On reflection we would also rather experience Cheetahs in the type of surroundings that we had at Okonjima where it feels that they have more space and shelter." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"could have skipped this one..."
The "sundowners" up at the gazebo on the dune was a rip-off---we could have carried our own drinks up there perfectly easily, we didn't need to pay for someone to drive them up and serve them to us...
Overall, probably worth a stay for the Kalahari scenery if Dune Chalets are available, otherwise, probably not. Two nights felt too long." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
"excellent introduction to Namibia game drives"
We were prebooked for a game drive and on our first morning we were taken on a short drive to see cheetahs and then later that day had an excellent game drive. We were charged for both. I felt there was a lack of transparency in what was on offer and the cost. If informed we would still have done both." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

The dune chalets were very comfortable with lovely views and we took a very nice sundowner trip, which gave us our first viewing of Namibian wildlife." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia
