Comfortable stay in the Kalahari. Comfortable stay. Meerkats are beautiful and very playful. Gemsbok that come to drink water near the house in the afternoons is a highlight.

Gemaklike verblyf in die Kalahari. Gemaklike verblyf. Meerkatjies is pragtig en baie speels. Gemsbok wat smiddae kom water drink naby die huis, is 'n hoogtepunt.

Unforgettable experience. Basic necessities are neat and clean. Stand alone unit at a watering hole for a variety of animals and birds. Can definitely recommend the place. Definitely food for the soul. Guest service was great. Richard cares about his guests. Mareli and the meerkats are the highlight of the sanctuary.

Onvergeetlike belewenis. Basiese benodighede is netjies en skoon. Alleenstaande eenheid by 'n drinkplek vir verskeidenheid diere en voëls. Kan die plekkie beslis aanbeveel. Beslis kos vir die siel. Gaste diens was puik. Richard gee om vir sy gaste. Mareli en die meerkatjies is die hoogtepunt van die sanctuary.

Value for money. Best place for peace and quiet. Will stay for a week next time. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our stay exceeded our expectations. The chalet has the basic necessities, is neat and clean. Ideally located and isolated with a drinking place for birds and the other animals. A place where you will surely find peace and quiet. The meerkats are the highlight. Mareli is still the best guide.

Waarde vir geld. Beste plek vir rus en vrede. Sal volgende keer 'n week bly. Met aankoms is ons vriendelik verwelkom. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons verblyf het ons verwagtinge oortref. Die chalet beskik oor die basiese benodighede, is netjies en skoon. Ideaal geleë en geisoleer met 'n drinkplekkie vir voëltjies en die ander diere. 'n Plekkie waar jy vir seker rus en vrede sal vind. Die meerkatjies is die hoogtepunt. Mareli is steeds die beste gids.

Nice. Stay in a spacious, stand-alone chalet just 30 minutes from the national park gate. Under the vast Kalahari sky, the experience is truly unforgettable.

Very nice. I booked a room and they put us in a house that was very thoughtful and comfortable!

Baie lekker. Ek het 'n kamer bespreek en hul het ons in 'n huis gesit wat baie bedagsaam en gerieflik was!

It was nice to see the meerkats and also springbok and a gemsbok. Very peaceful and pleasant stay close to the Kgalagadi.

Dit was lekker om die meerkatte en ook springbokke en 'n gemsbok te sien. Baie rustige en lekker verblyf naby aan die Kgalagadi.

Good Kalahari friendliness. Nice and close to Kgalagadi which allows you to spend the whole day in the park and then drive about 40 km to get to Kalahari Trails. Nice hot shower and comfortable bed after a day in the car and evening next to the braai fire. It's close to the road, but there is practically no traffic on the road after dark - so nice and quiet. We had to leave early for Upington for a flight, but would have liked to visit a bit and browse around the shop.

Goeie Kalahari vriendelikheid. Lekker naby aan Kgalagadi wat jou toelaat om die hele dag in die park te spandeer en dan so 40 km te ry om by Kalahari Trails te kom. Lekker warm stort en gemaklike bed na 'n dag in die kar en aand langs die braaivleisvuur. Dis naby die pad, maar daar is na donker feitlik geen verkeer op die pad nie - dus lekker rustig. Ons moes vroeg wikkel Upington toe vir 'n vlug, maar sou graag 'n bietjie wou kuier en in die winkel rondsnuffel.

It was otherwise a wonderful experience. We had a very comfortable stay, except that the photos and description are a bit confusing. It is not clearly stated that the bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and that the third adult, who sleeps in the living room, has to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, and even worse. The bathroom is only closed off by a curtain and two swinging bar doors.

Dit was andersins 'n heerlike ondervinding. Ons het heel gerieflik gebly, behalwe dat die foto's en beskrywing bietjie verwarrend is. Daar word nie duidelik gemeld dat die slaapkamer 'n en-suite badkamer het en dat die derde volwassene, wat in die leefvertrek slaap, deur die slaapkamer moet loop om by die badkamer uit te kom nie, en nog erger. Die badkamer word net afgesluit deur 'n gordyn en twee swaai kroegdeurtjies.

Relaxing. Wonderfully peaceful. A few things that need maintenance like taps, but we enjoyed it there.

Ontspannend. Heerlik rustig. 'n Paar goedjies wat instandhouding kort soos krane, maar ons het dit geniet daar.
