The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The owner was very nice and personable and the dinner was fantastic. We loved watching the animals drinking by the water hole.

A picturesque eco friendly place
The scale system used by hotels.com doesnt do Alte Kalfoken lodge justice.
It's a beautiful property, surrounded by nothing but the beautiful nature and wildlife of Namibia (Sure, theres a train track beside the property, but there aren't any trains running through.
The staff are lovely, the scenery is picturesque and the food is amazing.
If you're even considering staying in the Keetmanshoop area, skip it and drive a bit further to Alte Kalfoken. You will not regret it.

Unique Experience
Excellent food, beautifully presented and very friendly staff and owners. The property is interesting and unique. The lithoparium is bizarre and educational. A very interesting place to stay which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Wunderschöne kleine Häuschen mit allem, was man braucht . Herzlichen Dank für die nette Betreuung! Speziell an Yanko ! Und an Frikkie für die traumhafte Sundowner Fahrt. Und das Essen muss erwähnt werden: super! Und die phantastische Natur ringsherum. Wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen!

Sehr interessante Lodge, ganz spezielles schönes Ambiente. Nett für einen Spaziergang an den Bahngleisen entlang. Großzügige Zimmer, sehr nettes Personal, ausgesprochen gute Küche. Das Abendessen (festes Menü) einfach ein Traum
