Gondwana Kalahari Anib Lodge

It was our first stop at the 12-day trip around Namibia. The lodge exceeded our expectations. We had a two-room cabin, with access to a terrace from both rooms. Sitting in a hanging chair we could observe elands, ostriches, springbok and oryxes passing by. At night the sky was covered with stars and even the milky was visible. Fantastic view. Dinner and breakfast were opulent (buffet). Wine selection for dinner was surprisingly wide and good. Staff friendly and helpful. In the evening it was pretty cold in our cabin but within 5 min. someone came and fixed the heating. The whole place was very clean.

Our first stop on a 12 day trip, and this was a great choice. We arrived sunset to see Oryx by the swimming pool! Buffet dinner and additional requested meals accommodated our dietary needs - 4 vegans, 4 vegetarians and 1 non-veg! Ditto for breakfast. The rooms were spacy and showers hot. Wish we'd stayed longer!

We booked this through Expert Africa and it was a great stay. The room was gorgeous and faced out to the savannah and watering hole. The sundowner game drive was so worth doing. The guide was so knowledgeable and she was passionate about the animals - he said this was her dream job and it showed. In one night, we saw Eland, Oryx, wildebeest, zebra, springbok, ostriches, kudu, weaver bird nests and marabou storks. The meals were fine and the pool was a little aged, but overall it was an amazing stay.

Everything was good but the pool. I unfortunatly desided to take a swim in the not so clear water due the hot weather. Accidently I got water in my mouth. Thi resulted in a 12 day stomach sickness. High fever and pain. I had the same food as the rest of the group I was the only to get sick. I was also the only one to dive into the pool!

We loved our stay here! After 12 days in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, this was a welcome and much needed bit of luxury on our way back to Windhoek. We stayed 2 nights and were sad to leave. We stayed in the Ground Agama family unit (#41) and it was detached so nice and private. It had a great view over a waterhole and we enjoyed relaxing on the egg chair on the patio watching the guinea fowl and mongoose come to drink. We also saw Eland here, which we hadn't been able to see at KTP. The food here was the highlight of the stay! I wasn't expecting all that much with it being a buffet and me being vegetarian, but they catered so much for veggies. The soup and at least 1 starter was veggie (the gem squash soup was one of the best soups I've ever had!!) and although there was no veggie main, the vegetable sides were exceptional. The ratatouille was a stand out dish. Breakfast was also good and we requested a lunch box for the way home quite late at night, and this wasn't a problem. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the air con worked well, the shower was great, and the master bed had a mosquito net (which we wished we had in other places we stayed!) The only thing that was missing was a mini fridge as we had some cold drinks and water with us, and nowhere to store them. They do provide tap water in glass bottles. Also, perhaps more storage in the bedrooms as there was only a small hanging space and we couldn't really unpack anything. Not a big deal as we only stayed a couple of nights, but if you were staying longer then it might be a problem.

Great lodge, nice campisite! Very, very friendly and helpful staff (special thank for help with „emergency“ treatment of injury!). Good food (breakfast and dinner buffet) and drinks. I can also recommend the sundowner tour; we‘ve seen a lot of animals! The views are breathtaking!
