Gondwana Kalahari Anib Lodge

What not to like? The lodge is located in a stunning setting and well organized. Great sundowner tour with animal sighting and drinks, well thought-through breakfast and dinner buffet with ample options including for vegetarians. Could do a little better for fresh juices. Friendly and efficient staff. When a morning game drive was apparently forgotten we had a replacement organized within minutes. Great rooms with spectacular view. Recommended.

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!

This was a very OK hotel that is geared toward tour groups. Very nice cabins are organized around a pool. There was a stereotypical experience that German tourists got there first and "reserved" the chairs and towels and limited access for others. One of our group also had a challenge in that one of the porters put their suitcases on the wrong tour bus and it took quite some time to track that bus down and correct the issue. The hotel was helpful in that endeavor. This was a "way station" for our group between Windhoek and Sousouvlei. It did its job very well in that regard. For large groups or people traveling in their own car that need a place to rest, it is definitely a good place.

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!

We had booked into a tented experience but due to an "issue" this wasn't available and we were upgraded to a room - absolutely fine by us. The room was perfect for what we required. The staff were all very polite and helpful. We decided to do a scorpion hunt and had a great time. We also had a go at some astro photography as the skies were so clear and dark. We also found a pearl spotted owlet in the tree behind the lodges. Highly recommended

Beautiful setting.Great nature walks from lodge.Food very good. Room comfortable and well equipped. Bathroom a little worn . Really nice outdoor sitting area.

Lovely stay at Kalahari Anib. The bar and restaurant area has a nice vibe, it feels a bit more alive. The food (buffet) was excellent. We did a sunrise drive, the guide was very knowledgeable - this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The pool was just perfect on a very hot day. I didn't like the rooms as much, it's a bit cramped and stuffy. Also, had to ask someone to bring us clean cups etc. Overall the experience here was that things had to be asked for, good service didn't come naturally.
