Kalahari Anib Lodge – A Lush Oasis in the Red Dunes
Tucked among the iconic red sands of the Kalahari, Kalahari Anib Lodge is a vibrant and welcoming escape in the heart of southern Namibia. It offers the perfect blend of comfort, colour, and scenery, where springbok graze on golden grasses and sunsets set the dunes ablaze. This is your gateway to the magic of the Kalahari—easygoing, enriching, and endlessly photogenic.
Location
Situated just outside Mariental and easily accessed by road, Kalahari Anib Lodge lies within Gondwana’s private Kalahari Park. This vast reserve is home to oryx, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and a kaleidoscope of birdlife, all thriving in a landscape shaped by rolling red dunes, dry riverbeds, and acacia trees. The lodge is perfectly positioned for sunrise drives, scenic hikes, or simply soaking in the silence of the desert.
The Lodge
The lodge offers 52 rooms, including standard, comfort, and family options, all set around shaded gardens and framed by swaying palms. Rooms are air-conditioned and en-suite, with private verandas overlooking the bush. The main lodge area features an inviting bar, lively restaurant, two swimming pools, and plenty of space to lounge in the Namibian sun. Expect warm smiles, colourful décor, and a laid-back atmosphere that reflects the rhythm of the land.
Experiences
Guests can join guided sunrise or sunset drives, nature walks, or birding excursions in the reserve, where the interplay of light and colour is a photographer’s dream. Sundowners on a dune ridge offer unforgettable panoramic views. The lodge also supports Gondwana’s conservation and sustainability mission, actively restoring native habitats and employing from local communities. A portion of your stay contributes to environmental and social upliftment in the region.
