What do people say about Kgalagadi Lodge
“After a long day on the road and with the excitement of visiting the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park looming we stopped at this neat, clean and more than ample establishment. Baby blue wildebeest welcome you at reception and a young Kudu calmly eats behind your unit as you unpack for the night. Also enjoyed a fantastic Gemsbok steak! A must try if eating at the restaurant, however the self-catering facilities are great if you just need to put up your tired feet and light a fire.” – Donatella TripAdvisor.
“I enjoyed my stay here. The facilities were great. Shop, restaurant, pool. The rooms were large with plenty of amenities. Kitchen, bathroom, lounge and bed areas. Everything was clean. The food was enjoyable. So very close to the park. Would recommend this Lodge to other travellers.” – Shinomori TripAdvisor.
“A perfect start to your Kgalagadi experience. Camp here in utter luxury on the red dunes. A good tip is to stock up on your meat supplies at their shop. It is vacuum packed, marinated and very tasty. Reception always helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.” – Joos TripAdvisor.
