Palm Afrique is stylish, clean and beautifully decorated. The pool, bar area and the gardens are beautiful. So much attention to detail. The staff is friendly and went out of their way to make the stay special. The meals at the restaurant were delicious and is real value for money. This lodge comes highly recommended! 5 Stars!
Camping Campsites are grass, which is rare for the area. Free wandering game on the farm, ask for a game drive. Soft sand road to get here, but on the way to Central Kalahari, so you already have Big Boy pants on
Der Besitzer der Lodge (der alte Mann mit dem ungepflegten Bart) war die unfreundlichste Person, die wir in unserer ganzen 4-wöchigen Namibia/Botswana Reise getroffen haben. Service und Gastfreundlichkeit mangelhaft: In der Bar waren nicht mal 3 Leute, und wir mussten eine halbe Stunde auf unsere Cocktails warten. Anstatt uns dann die Getränke nach freundlicher Erinnerung zu bringen, kam er dann ohne die Getränke zu uns an den Tisch im Außenbereich und meinte, wir können die Getränke an der Bar abholen. Wir haben uns dann entschieden, nichts mehr an der Bar zu kaufen. Die anderen Angestellten waren immer superfreundlich und aufmerksam. Ich frage mich wie er wohl mit seinen Angestellten umgeht, wenn schon die Gäste so schlecht behandelt werden? Es wird schon seinen Grund haben warum die Lodge zu dem Zeitpunkt unseres eintägigen Aufenthalts zu weniger wie 50% belegt war. Es war uns jedenfalls eine Lehre und wir werden diese Lodge in Zukunft meiden und auch nicht weiterempfehlen. Zitat von William Butler Yeats: „Überheblichkeit ist der sicherste Weg zum Scheitern.“
What a wonderful place for a camping stopover (or lodge stay). Superbly clean and well thought out camp sites. Wonderful bar to help the sun go down, and delicious meals at the restaurant. It was so nice we nearly had a two-day stop-over. If you need a Ghanzi stop, this is the place.
Food (dinner) was fine and people serving drinks were friendly. Our room was full of mosquitoes, we slept 3 hours and were full of bites. When we told the reception in the morning they said the cleaning ladies leave the door open and the mosquitoes come in. And thanks for letting us know. So it wasn’t our fault, but we had to feel the consequences. There was no „I am sorry to hear“ or „can we offer you a coffee to go“… Discount to cover the inconveniences was also not possible. On top we paid 6 Euros/Dollars credit card fee. If we would have known, we would have paid cash… Finally, we couldn’t leave in the morning, nobody was opening the gate. I ran the 200m to the reception just to find out somebody is coming, no sorry or anything. Very sad to end our trip this way in Botswana, though we experienced the people here as a very welcoming and helpful folk.
Sehr sauberer, gepflegter Ort. 2 Swimmingpool, eine Bar, ein Restaurant.
Kleines Wasserloch. Tiere, vom Strauß über Springboek zur Gans alles auf dem Areal zu sehen.
Only got to stay a day but this place showed us top notch hospitality; great food and service and a beautiful, peaceful setting. Enjoyed the fast WiFi by the pool and outdoor seating areas
Palm Afrique is the place. With comfortable beds, tasty food, ice cold beer and a cold swimming pool, it's the place to rest.
