    Peace in the Kalahari

    This isolated venue, situated on the rim of a red dune above one of the Kalahari's salt pans, is for people who love semi-arid landscapes and spectacular night skies. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, wonderful night drives.

    Perfect hideaway in beautiful surroundings

    As before, we were met with sincere and friendly personnel. We were treated in every way, and our stay was superb. After 3-4 days in the Kgalagadi and at !Xaus lodge - you'll return with new zest... We will surely visit !Xaus again....
