1 night Arrived 15 Dec 2016
"Accommodation had great setting, but no water on one occasion, and no hot water once we did get it!

Outdoor buffet was not great, food cold, burners kept blowing out." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"

1 night Arrived 19 Nov 2016
"Very nice place as the last stop. The only remark would be that they get somebody that knows how to organise their kitchen. At lunch with 6 tables with guests all coming at different times, all got served at the same time.

For dinner the same thing, but just with all tables busy. All staff was there, it's just that the owner seemed to create more chaos then bringing order, we left halfway into the dinner, despite great food." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Well worth arriving for afternoon game drive"

1 night Arrived 29 Aug 2016
"We were well greeted and were lucky enough to get an upgrade, to the Honeymoon Suite, a large chalet complete with Jacuzzi. However we did not have a chance to try this out and given the warnings of acute water shortages and the need to keep showers brief it would not have been appropriate to use it.

We arrived early enough to get on the afternoon game drive & sundowner which were well worth doing. We had a very good, conscientious and knowledgeable guide; we got the impression that the others were too.

All staff were very friendly and helpful.

A very good start to the holiday and a realistic and excellent place to break the long journey south. It was also an introduction to driving on gravel and sand roads." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

1 night Arrived 5 Aug 2016
"This was a very pleasant stopover.

Our chalet had great views and we enjoyed the terrace. We thought the food was of a high standard.

We did not have time to book any activities but liked the short self-guided walk." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 3n in South Africa

"Good accomodation but a bit artificial"

1 night Arrived 19 Jul 2016
"The accommodation here is great, as is the food. But be aware that the game drive is through their enclosed nature reserve rather than in the open Kalahari. as this was our first stop outside Windhoek it was good to learn something about Namibian wildlife but we were unsure about what wildlife we'd seen was native to the area and what had been bussed in.

Stroking a cheetah was an unexpected experience!" See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"

1 night Arrived 28 May 2016
"I felt that this Game Ranch is still "finding its way".

Is it trying to attract "weekenders" from Windhoek.? This is the first place where on arrival we were presented with a list of activities and prices - also evident on a Tablet in our room.

We wanted to leave at 06:00 am - breakfast pack had been ordered but not ready on time - just minor irritations as was the poor waiter/waitress service for the Buffet evening meal." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"

1 night Arrived 8 May 2016
"This was our first stop, and a truly superb location.

The afternoon drive and sundowner were well organised, every aspect was taken care of during our stay. The only comment I would make is that one night is not enough.

To appreciate the site and its attractions two nights are required." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia
