As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

On the reserve - springbok, gemsbok, zebras, ostrich, meerkats, cheetah, the Bagatelle Kalahari Game Lodge and the campsites (a hefty stroll from there).

Bagatelle has five individual campsites and there’s lots of space between them - great for groups who want privacy.

They’re all set between the red sand dunes with a large tree on each so you’ll get a touch of shade.

You’ll have your own ablution block as well - toilet, shower, washbasin. Nothing fancy, they’re little solar powered sheds which may require your patience. There is also a utility table and a sink for cooking.

Kids will love it. The insects in the long grass are impressive. It’s a proper “old school” return to nature experience. They can explore and play in the sand (bring their flip flops/thongs as that sand can get as red hot as those dunes) and you might get visited by cows at night.

Campsite 1 might be the one to go for if you have very young children as it’s only about a 1km walk back to the main lodge.

And you’ll want to head up there as all campers are allowed to use the main lodge and swimming pool.

Kalahari Anib Campsite

Just 30km from Mariental, the perfect stop over between Windhoek and Stampriet, whether you are heading west towards Sossusvlei, south to the Fish River Canyon, east towards the Kgalagadi or further on to South Africa. This is the ideal spot to camp out under southern skies amidst the red sand of the Kalahari Desert.

Kalahari Farmhouse Campsite

In a quiet area of the Kalahari, Kalahari Farmhouse offers farm-style living in the setting of an oasis. These could be the greenest campsites in the south of Namibia, an area otherwise known to be pretty dry and arid.
