Kifaru Luxury Lodge & Bush Camp

Ann and I had the best experience we could have wished for, we were treated like royalty, everyone in the team that help run Kifaru are just the best, if you drive past this place you have missed out on a "Dimond in the rough". would pick this place for a stay over any 5* hotel any day of the week. the project with the Rhinos is right up there with the best in the world, if you are in Namibia you have to make a B line to stay here.

Travelling around Namibia, going where suits us, we decided on Kifaru Lodge. The lodge was 24 km up a rough dirt road. Half way there is a locked gate, and with a combination lock. Weak phone signal but managed to telephone lodge to ask for assistance. They would not give it without a firm booking. Suggested we return to the town and and make a booking. That's 12 km on a rough road to book a place we hadn't seen for a very high price. They belong to a company that encourages walk-in bookings, and yet you can't walk in. Disappointed.

If only words can describe this amazing place where one can relax and unwind in a quiet and elegant setting. Our family enjoyed a genuine experience of leisure, pleasure, gastronomy and wellness. Kifaru is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in Namibia. It was a privileged Thank you!

Spectacular view and rooms. Marvelous bath view and the outside shower is amazing. The rooms were not "cleaned" , meaning bed made and coffee replaced during our stay even though we hanged the please clean room object. The swimmingpool area is nice and relaxing and the food was good. Staff were very friendly and overall a very nice experience.

Kifaru is a lovely place with lovely people. Very welcoming and hospitable. They go out of their way to make your stay as unforgettable as possible. Definitely will be going back in the future and recommending it.

We spent two wonderful nights at Kifaru Lodge. The main building and individual lodges overlook the bush and are tastefully designed and comfortable and there is a very welcome pool in which to cool down. The Lodge manager and staff were absolutely brilliant, both welcoming and efficient., and the food was excellent. Yes, getting there does require a long drive which is extremely bumpy, even by gravel road standards, but this all adds to the anticipation and feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. The Lodge is closely affiliated to the Rhino Momma conservation project, being located just outside the reservation. Many of the activities are therefore focused on rhino (though not exclusively). We arrived in time to go on the 'Sundowner Drive', the high spot of which was having tea (or, if you preferred, G & T) and snacks less than 10 metres from where white rhino were grazing, completely unphased by our presence. We also went on a morning game drive. For both, Leroy was our fantastic guide - his knowledge of rhinos (and other wildlife) was encyclodedic and only surpassed by his enthusiasm for all things rhino, which was positively infectious.
