          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....
