I fell in love with this place.  So much character.   Lovely, spacious rooms, beautiful communal areas/bar .... everything was perfect.  The highlight was dining outside on the terrace by the pool under the Namibian stars with giraffes, oryxes and other wildlife drinking from the waterhole very close by.   It just blew me away.  We did the sundowner game drive and saw meercats (mother and baby), bat eared fox, giraffes, oryxes, ostriches and many other birds and animals, and then had cocktails/drinks in the most beautiful location.  The sand is so red!!! I loved it!!!

Fell in love with Namibia!!!

This was a beautiful lodge to stay at. The rooms are huge and so clean and comfortable. The staff were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The game drive through the reserve of an afternoon was fabulous, and stopping for sundowners was stunning! The food was very good and very tasty. The bar area around the fire was lovely! We loved our stay here.

Great Lodge in Reserve

On our first two nights in Namibia we stayed in the dune suite furthest away from the main
building. It was very spacious, comfortable and very peaceful and private with a lovely view of the bush from the terrace. The air conditioning was adequate without being able to make the large space very cool (although the weather was very hot even by local standards when we visited). We slept comfortably. We were met outside our door by a couple of eland both mornings which was a nice surprise.

The main lodge is comfortable and well furnished with a nice pool and good food. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a watering hole within sight which is visited by springbok and eland.

On the sundowner drive we saw zebra giraffe, kudu, springbok and ostrich but not the lion, unfortunately. I would recommend it.

A lovely place to stay in the Kalahari.


Peaceful, comfortable with good food. Great place to stay in the Kalahari.

Beautiful lodge, great location. There had been large amounts of rain in the early part of this year. This gave us the unexpected pleasure of seeing a " green" Kalahari desert. The views of the dunes that weren't covered in grass were spectacular. 

Zebra Kalahari Lodge

Stayed for one night and this is the only disadvantage - should stay more next time. Lodge is located within private nature reserve, so you can see a lot of animals on the game drive. The staff was very friendly, definitely would come back again.

Great hotel with perfect activities

Definitely worth every cent. The bar is not expensive, which was surprising for a lodge. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they treat every guest as family. The  best experience was the fact that game is so relaxed, they walk up to the rooms. 

Perfect!

I visited the Kalahari and decided to stay at Camelthorn lodge, then was upgraded at Zebra lodge with no additional cost. The lodge is impressive, so beautiful and the pool is divine !
The meals are delicious and the service exceptional. Thank You to the entire team and owners !
The sandy road to acces the lodges needs to be taken with precaution, don't stop to take a picture if You do not have a 4x4.
I will definitly come back in couple !
It is so romantic.

Amazing stay and lodge in the Kalahari !

The Lodge ist very nice and comfortable. The rooms are very spacious and have an in- and outdoor shower (if you fancy that).
The dinner was very nice too. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that it was relatively hot in the room even with the AC on.
As the hotel is located in a Game Reserve I'd really recommend the Sundowner Game drive which is absolutely awesome!

Very Nice place

We only spent one night at the Zebra Kalahari Lodge but wished it were more! We had a heartwarming welcome, enjoyed a lovely lunch and afternoon at the pool with a view onto the waterhole where all kinds of animals - antilopes, zebras, ostriches - gathered. The lodge is positioned in the middle of the Namibian Kalahari Desert with its vibrant red sand. Our room (one of the chalets) was very spacious and comfortable with lovely interior design.  
We took part in the sundowner drive where we saw a lot of game and enjoyed a typical African sunset with drinks and snacks. This was followed by excellent dinner under the southern night sky. The San Bushmen walk was very informative too. 
All in all a great experience, good activities, perfect location and great food.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful accommodation, very friendly, enthusiastic, service-minded and professional staff. Superb gamedrive (sundawner), very beautiful scenery, cool activity with the San. Many thanks to all the staff for a blissful stay.
