"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
Delicious lunch, Salad with avocado. Nature drive with good knowledgable guide George, great fun and very interesting. We were distressed to see their three captive 12 year old Cheetahs, one in small enclosure.
Dinner was good as was breakfast." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
"Beautiful red sand-dunes"
The combo afternoon game drive/ cheetah feeding & sunset drink was very good and I highly recommend the 7am walk with some bushmen" See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
"Wonderful horse back ride"
Food, in buffet style, was good, but they quickly ran out of most the buffet options. Also, some of the staff seemed a bit disinterested." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia
"Excellent location, slightly funny check-in"
Upon checking in we had a bit of a funny experience, as the representative on reception looked a bit confused why two men would be on a honeymoon, and after we explained to him, he then even asked, "so, who's the lady" - which was slightly odd and misguided. I would suggest that for the type of place that Bagatelle aims to be staff should avoid comments like that. Otherwise everything was fine." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"
"A great start to our holiday."
The tour guide for the drive although very pleasant, was not well informed regarding the wildlife. Despite being told it was our wedding anniversary, the lodge completely forgot or ignored the information and had to be reminded by our friends.
The swimming pool was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned for some time." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
"Great stay at Bagatelle!"
However excellent stay, thoroughly enjoyed activities, food was very nice and staff were very good and welcoming. Location and scenery (and room) were amazing." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Comfortable stay in excellent surroundings"
A good stop over point: just be aware that even taking the "quick" route it took us 4 hours to drive between here and the airport and we were close to the speed limit all the way!" See all these reviews: 28n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa
