Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch

We stayed for 3 nights in a Dune Chalet, the views are beautiful and I would recommend staying in one if you can. Our Chalet was confortable, it did feel a little dated and in need of a makeover. All the excursions we did were excellent, and my partner who had no riding experience really enjoyed the early morning horse ride and got very close to the giraffes. Our Rhino feeding trip was a very memorable and special experience, and you come very close to the animals. We also did the evening Como excursion which include the Cheetah feed which is a unique experience. Food is a buffet and we dined outside, there was a decent choice and staff efficient and friendly. We thought our Spa treatment excellent and good value. Given the increasing number of lodges I would suggest a programme of upgrades be put in place including doors to the toilets in the Dune Chalets. New rooms seem to be getting built near the main building.

Bagatelle Lodge itselfe ja incredible. Very warm welcome, nice lodge great reserve. We spend one night at the camping place, did an afternoon game drive and booked the evening. The afternoon game drive was incredible! The dinner was very good and the wine cellar great. It all comes of course with some coats. Not the cheapest lodge. And that’s a bit of a disappointment. The campsite was ok, but not great. It was actually a bit worse than the average. Still completely fine camp site, but not the Money worth. The campsite is to expensive, even though the lodge itself of course is great. We payed 1200 NamDoller for 2 people. So everyone has to decide if you want to spend a bit more money and then get the rest great (which you obviously also pay for!) or take maybe a cheaper campsite. as far as i know you also could book the game drive without sleeping at the lodge.

We spent an entire week at the Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch and did the Horse Safari there. We felt at home from minute 1 and spent a wonderful week there. The food is incredibly delicious and the rooms are very spacious, even in the cheapest category (and clean, of course). All the staff were super nice and dedicated. The guides were very knowledgeable about nature and the wild animals that live there, so you could also learn something. Our highlight was the horse safaris, which we were able to enjoy with super motivated and well-behaved horses in a great group! I’m sure we will come back!
