Xaus Lodge

This a wonderful place to add to Kgalagadi visit. Staff and ranger very friendly and knowledgable. The view is amazing. This is the place to relax and enjoy the desert, with no pressure. Would highly recommend to add this to a visit the area.

Amazingly peaceful and remote location in the middle of the Kalahari dunes overlooking a pan; very friendly and helpful staff; an outstanding guide (Castro), tasty meals (included in price); nicely planned outings (included in price); very nice food and beverage selection; super hosts (Anthony and Suzy)...and incredible nighttime views of the sky as an official dark sky sanctuary.

Nothing.

Very special and terrific place and location Great atmosphere and views Lions at the lodge New pool, small but enough for refreshing in the middle of nowhere

Long way to get to the lodge Besides the lions at the lodge we didn’t see that many of the bigger animals around the lodge at the game drives. In this area there are no giraffes, buffalo, etc. but you see them in the valley on your way to the meeting point of the lodge. So the game drives around the lodge area were a bit disappointing.

Xaus is a special place, a step towards giving the San Community their dignity and land back. Our proud San guides were terrific. They are so passionate and knowledgeable about their land and its animal life. Donovan and Koos really made us feel welcome and taught us many things about the long and proud history of the Bushmen people. We will be back.

Nothing at all. At first I missed internet and phone connectivity but that was one of the best things about it in the end. You can totally disconnect!

Our guide was excellent, staff was very friendly and lodge is at a good location

Stated in brochure we will visit a tradional bushman village. I was very disapponted as for men sitting there making curios and selling them is not a tradional village. I felt cheated and there was misrepresentation.

Amazing location! Not fenced, the animals come really close to the Lodge. At night you hear the lions roar. The price for the night includes different game drives (i.e. Sundowner, morning walk and Night drive)
