When we arrived at the lodge we were immediatly blown away by the stunning location and the kindness of the staff. After a delicious dinner we sat down in front of the cabin and were fascinated by the quietness and the sight of thousands of stars in the sky. The gamedrives under surveillance of our very friendly guide conveniently nicknamed ‘knowledge’ were astonishing. Since the lodge is located in the middle of the premises the animals were all around us. While sitting in the various comfortable chairs and couches on the deck next to the main lodgebuilding, where we had dinner and breakfast every day, we could observe a waterhole where the animals were able to drink. Everyday there was different wildlife there; giraffes, a lonely elephant, 100+ wildebeasts, lions, zebras, gemsboks, … The icing on top of the cake was watching the sundown at the end of every gamedrive. The guide and the spotter brought some drinks and snacks which, combined with their amaible personalities, made for an evening filled with animalfacts, humour and relaxation. In short, we had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer! - Noah & Petra

There is a San village very close to Grassland lodge with very warm friendly Bushmen that are eager to show guests their survival skills! The Lodge is also running a very good predator project, with lions, leopards and wild dogs.At Grassland Bushman Lodge you will be amazed by the comfortable chalets, dining facilities, and hospitable staff.

We provide 3 meals a day, snacks, mid-day tea and dessert, cold drinks, wine, and a fully stocked bar for evening nightcapsAnother unique aspect of our camp is our large swimming pool. Guests thoroughly enjoy taking a soothing swim after a long day of game drives and cultural walks.Likewise, guests often enjoy sitting by the bricked fire pit and watch as hundreds of animals come in at dusk to feed by the large illuminated water pan a mere 50 yards away.

Great desert experience

Our stay at Grasslands was a wonderful debut to a 12 day trip to Botswana. The lodge accommodations are lovely and comfortable and have that 'old school' vibe that makes for a romantic memory of African Safaris. The staff and lodge manager were all very nice, fun and happy to provide real Botswanan menus that included Kudu and Eland game meat. All of it delicious. They were generous in every sense of the word. Our game drives were quite successful and we saw about 20 different kinds of animal including 2 rhinos. The bushman walk was interesting and information though a bit staged, however it would be difficult to have a true encounter with the San people otherwise. Over all, our 4 days when Grasslands was a fabulous introduction to desert life.

Palm Afrique Lodge

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed By H382BN

Best accommodation in Southern Africa! We stayed at Palm Afrique in Ghanzi for 3 weeks and it was the most enjoyable experience I’ve had in a very long time. The hosts, Bertie & Sonia were so accommodating and met our every needs and more! The food was exceptional, I definitely picked up a few kilos after our trip. Couldn’t get enough of the food. The quiet setting and beautiful scenery surrounding the lodge with wild game all over, a private game drive is one of the activities we made use of regularly. We were really looked after, I can’t wait to come back with my family and friends next time I’m in Botswana.

Calvary Guest House

Not exactly value for your money

Reviewed By towfik2017

Dont expect too much from rural areas in Botswana. That is my little experience. Stayed for one night while passing through. Free and safe parking. Free wifi. The room is very clean with brand new sheets. The building seems a little bit old, especially the bathroom. The price, 65 usd/ngt is quite high when compared with other guesthouses all around the world, but it is normal in Botswana.
