Very poor value-for-money ratio
Both my fiancé and I love adventures and we have no problem with living under local conditions and circumstances such as in the Kgalagadi like showering with salt water, being some days without WiFi and any other connection to the outside world, etc. But what !Xaus offers is simply a rip-off! Serving greasy pork belly on Christmas Eve with a cold soup as a starter, needing to pay for drinks at lunch and dinner, having no fridge with cold drinks available and no AC in the cottages, being provided with just a small drinking bottle like school children which we had to refill at a water dispenser in the dining room, having electricity for only two hours during the day to operate the ventilator in the heat (approximately 45 degrees Celsius), etc. is not acceptable for the amount we paid. We clearly want to exclude the guides from our critics. The guided tours were very informative and interesting. Our résumé: The value-for-money ratio is very very poor!

ruhige und einmalige Lage
Die Lodge ist seit etwas über einem Jahr unter neuer Führung. Der aktuelle Manager gibt sich grösste Mühe und ist als Ansprechpartner stets erreichbar. Die Anfahrt ist wirklich einzigartig und führt über 90 Sanddünen. Daher sollte man den Service nutzen und das eigene Auto stehen lassen. Die Lodge hat alles was man braucht, dass Strom nicht 24 Std. zur Verfügung steht, das Wasser im Zimmer relativ salzig ist und der kleine Pool (welcher Luxus mitten in der Wüste !) viele Bienen anzieht - ist wohl logisch und für 1 - 3 Tage zu verschmerzen. Das Essen hat mich positiv überrascht - sehr lecker. Die einheimischen Mitarbeitenden verhalten sich freundlich, sind aber eher zurückhaltend. Die Ruhe, die Aussicht, die Touren zu Fuss und per Jeep sind sehr schön - DARUM ist man da und bezahlt dafür. Grosse Tiere sind eher selten zu sehen (wer Glück hat, aber auch Kalahari Löwen). Außerdem hat man hier meist einen wunschderschönen Sternenhimmel. Man überlege sich die Transportwege und Kosten, vor allem das Süsswasser aus dem Grundwasser zu holen - das kann nicht billig sein.

Eine grossartige Erfahrung
Die Lodge liegt etwas abgelegen, aber das macht es so grossartig. Nur Ruhe, absolut entspannend, tolles Sternenbild. Die Servicequalität ist sehr gut. Das Hotel hat alles ausser Telefonempfang und nur Strom zu gewissen Zeiten. Essen war gut. Es wird schon bei der Buchung nach Allergien gefragt. Es gibt unterschiedliche Aktivitäten und man lernt viel über die Gegend und die Kultur der Buschmänner. Es liegt abgelegen und Wasser ist ein knappes Gut. Kleine Pannen sind nicht ausgeschlossen, aber das Personal und Management ist gut vorbereitet. Für uns hat es gepasst und wir können es nur weiterempfehlen
