Review of !Xaus Lodge
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 23 Jul 2017
We stayed one night in the lodge, which is located next to a salt pan, which is special plus the stunning sky at nighttime with its stars. Long drive from collecting point to the lodge, which is not indicated by booking information. Hardly any wildlife, except birds and steenboks. we did enjoy the morning walk with a local san.
Despite the manager explained a part of the money is going to the local community its in our eyes overrated. Stuff + hosts are friendly and helpful, food is good. Frankly we were glad booked only one night for this money.

This is the place where you experience nature and wildlife far from the nearest neighbor. Which gives a special and genuine feeling to be close to mother nature. However, the accommodation is very good with all the amenities you need and the food will not disappoint you either. The guides on !XAUS complete the overall impression of this lodge and make it very easy to recommend staying here to experience something beyond the usual.

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.

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....

!Xaus is a lovely lodge set in a beautiful spot in the Kgalagadi Game Reserve. It is not a lodge to stay at if you want easy access to the park, it is well off the beaten track. It is fabulous though if you want to just drink in the surroundings and beautiful African skies at night. We had a wonderful stay there.
