We were on a 9 day trip through Kgaligadi. We could not find a camp for 1 night, so we decided, although !Xaus was 3 times more expensive then the Wilderness caps/Chalets that we will stay there. BIG MISTAKE!. They offer you the Bushman experience/way of life. What you do get after a hours drive to get there a lecture by the arrogant Operational Manager ("I paid for the water on the table, it is free". No Richard, The quest already paid for it) of what you must do and when. In our group was also a family with two young kids. Richard made it very clear that the kids must stay in their Chalet. Richard, they paid for the so called experience. It sounded to us that you want to put the poor kids under quarantine. Normally, check-in-time is at 14h00 and check-out-time 10h00. We only arrived at the camp at 17h00. (they need to escort us). They made sure the next morning we leave at 08h00. They took us on a game drive - 1 dead snake and a Steenbok that got "lost". There is really no game to write home about. I needed my 4x4 fridge to be charged - not permissible. The rooms do not have a fridge to keep things cold - the rest of SANPARKS Camps and Luxury tents do have fridges - Solar Power. Instead of having Supper prepared the "Mier way", as advertised, you get tasteless fine-dining. Nothing about the Bushman way of life. They advertise that there is a curio shop - really!. Is that what you called a curio shop?
Bottom line: I will never recommend anyone to !Xaus. It was a very expensive bad experience that was a total waste of time. I will give SANPARKS-Kgaligadi a 10 and !Xaus a 1.
