Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch

Bagatelle has a lovely restaurant, pool, and reception area. There is a very nice shop with many quality items. The activities offered are interesting, and the guides are professional and knowledgeable. We had a combined tour including both safari and cheetah feeding as well as a sunset with an outdoor bar. The chalets have lovely views from the terraces. A big BUT, why have an 'open' toilet? No door. And no hand-washing facility next to it. Who was the architect who managed to get this solution accepted?

Superlative. Best Welcome drinks in Namibia- and we had a few! The meals were stunning- beautiful pool and grounds. Fabulous views from our room across the Kalahari. Best home made croissants at breakfast( and again, we had lots to compare) The combination cheetah and sundowner drive was brilliant. We returned here after about 10 years because we loved it so much- and it' was even better this time!! Stay 2 days.

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.
