Beautiful setting

Beautiful setting but it is remote... Thought the cheetahs would be easy to see but they weren't and I wasn't aware you had to book in advance for the cheetah experience. Food was fantastic and all staff super friendly. Also, caution on who you travel with! I was with my Dad so an open shower wasn't ideal!

Three day introduction to Namibia

Extraordinary property on a reserve devoted to rehabilitation of carnivores that have been in circumstances that endangered them or were a threat to farmers. They have excellent opportunities for guests to learn about the history and nature of these animals and a behind the scenes tour showing the training and use of dogs to combat poachers. The rooms and facilities are very comfortable and dining in the lodge was very good.

perfect for a quiet weekend away

my husband and i stayed at naankuse lodge for 3 nights at the tail end of our trip that spanned south africa, botswana, zambia and zimbabwe. we wanted a couple days to just relax after a 3 week group safari tour that was constantly on the go. we are glad we came to naankuse as it was a slower pace, allowing us to sleep in, do 2 excursions a day, and walk the property at our leisure without being on a true schedule. it also allowed us to just sit on the porch and relax, talk, taking in nature. we stayed in one of the huts that was within walking distance to the main lodge. it was fine for a couple, was clean, had a private porch but probably not for a family or traveling with another couple because it has an open shower, meaning the shower is not enclosed, its smack in the middle of the room. otherwise - would recommend. the guides for our excursions had alot of experience and knowledge, and were great to talk to.

Wir hatten eine Family Lodge. Diese war vom Aufbau und Aussehen sehr schön und gut ! Jedoch sind diese alle sehr sehr weit verstreut um die Rezeption und dem Pool ! Daher muss man sein Auto nutzen um Essen zu gehen oder in den Pool ! Da auch keine Beleuchtung auf dem Weg wĂ€re.. und viele Tiere gerade in der AbenddĂ€mmerung da sind.. Das Personal hat leider keine so große Lust zu arbeiten und einem einen schönen Aufenthalt zu gewĂ€hrleisten.. die Liegen am Pool sind immer zugedeckt und man muss sie selbst befreien davon.. Pool HandtĂŒcher waren in dem vorgegeben Korb immer leer und man musste fragen
 Genauso mit GetrĂ€nken.. das Personal steht immer nur hinter der Theke oder ist sogar verschwunden.. gefragt nach einem GetrĂ€nk auf der Terrasse oder dem Pool wird man nicht. Das tolle Feuer im Restaurant oder auch draußen war nicht an. An keinem Abend selbst bei unserer Nachfrage nicht, da es erst im Winter,Winter genutzt wĂŒrde
 und sie ja auch kein Holz hĂ€tten schade, denn das macht eine gemĂŒtliche AtmosphĂ€re aus und in all anderen Lodges die wir hatten war dies an, um dort den Abend verbringen zu können.. zusĂ€tzlich war es auch schon kĂŒhl abends ! Viele saßen mit Jacken da. Als Abendessen gab es 2 verschiedene Fleischsorten jeweils und eins vegetarisch.. was man sich auswĂ€hlen soll. Vor und Nachspeise gab es jeweils nur eine. Leider gab es als Fleisch nichts typisch afrikanisches mehr.. Rind, Lamm, Schwein und Chicken FĂŒr uns kein WohlfĂŒhlort..

Cet hĂŽtel (sactuaire de protection de la faune) est gĂ©nial! Nous avons passĂ© une derniĂšre journĂ©e exceptionnelle. Nous sommes arrivĂ© Ă  12h pour dĂ©jeuner et notre chambre Ă©tĂ© prĂȘte Ă  14h. La chambre (ou plutĂŽt la villa) Ă©tait immense, 2 chambres, 1 mezzanine "cambre", une cheminĂ©e, 2 salle de bain, des immenses baie vitrĂ©e donnant sur un point d'eau. un vrai paradis au milieu de nul part. Les animaux sont en libertĂ© dans la rĂ©serve, vous pouvez donc avoir la chance de voir, depuis votre chambre, des springbok, des chacals, des phacochĂšres, etc... La villa que nous avions Ă©tait Ă  15 minutes Ă  pied du bĂątiment principale mais la balade est super agrĂ©able. En voiture, c'est Ă  2km. D'autres chambres sont beaucoup plus prĂȘt bien sĂ»r mais elle sont plus petite. La piscine est trĂšs sympa, limpide (ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas en Namibie), dans un cadre magnifique, mais je ne sais pas avec quoi elle est traitĂ©e car on dirait que l'eau est salĂ©e (ça pique si on a des Ă©gratignures...). Le must pour moi ce sont les babouins qui cours partout en libertĂ© autour des chambre et du batiment principale. Nous avons fait l'excursion 'behind the scene" et nous avons adorĂ©e. Marlice n'Ă©tait pas lĂ  par contre mais le guide Ă©tait trĂšs sympa. J'ai adorĂ©e le ballade avec les babouins, trĂšs joueurs et malicieux! Je recommande vraiment cet hĂŽtel.

Sehr schöne Lodge in Namibia

Die Lodge ist sehr schön hergerichtet. Die Einzelnen Apartment sind ebenfalls sehr schön. Die Organisation lĂ€sst etwas zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig. Auf Anfragen, WĂŒnsche bzw. MĂ€ngel in der Villa in der wir ĂŒbernachteten wurde nicht mehr reagiert. (Wir hatten im 18:30 Uhr gemerkt, dass weder Herd noch offener Gas Kamin funktioniert, weil die Gasflasche leer und nicht angeschlossen auf der Terrasse stand). Der bereits ĂŒber Expedia bezahlte Übernachtungspreis wurde uns am Abreisetag nochmals in Rechnung gestellt. Seitens Management hatten die Damen an der Rezeption keine erkennbare UnterstĂŒtzung. Zu den Tieren Das Konzept hört sich sehr gut an. Jedoch werden die Tiere so oft gemeinsam mit Touristen gefĂŒttert, dass sie teilweise gar nicht mehr fressen bzw. das Fressen einfach liegen lassen. Hier scheint die Balance zw. Vermarktung der TierfĂŒtterung und tatsĂ€chlichem Nahrungsbedarf der Tiere nicht mehr zu stimmen.

Maravilhoso lodge, completamente integrado à natureza, confortåvel. Para quem gosta de uma boa cozinha, tudo que experimentei foi absolutamente delicioso. O melhor de tudo: o lodge faz parte da fundacão que leva o mesmo nome e é para onde vai o lucro da hospedagem. Imperdível também são os passeios oferecidos dentro deste projeto de conservacão. Infelizmente não pude participar de todos , mas espero retornar em breve. Eu recomendo pelo menos 4 dias neste imperdivel lodge.
