Very good stop when arriving or leaving, as it is very close to the airport. But beware that the last tour to the see the animals starts at 3pm (I wish the travel agency would have told us that, the hotel was nice enough to let us join the tour "en route" as it was our last day, but I... More

We stopped here on our way back to the airport, hoping to see cheetahs. When we arrived (later than we expected) we realized that we only had about 45 minutes to spend at the sanctuary. Rhona was wonderful enough to ensure that we had an opportunity to see the cheetahs before leaving. Her desire to fulfill our wishes of seeing... More

My daughter Sheridan, her friend Carla and I went to Namibia to volunteer at the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary in January 2013. That in itself is a fantastic experience which I will write about at another time. During our 2 weeks at Naankuse we decided to spend a night at the Lodge to relax and clean up a little bit. From...

I visited Naankuse Lodge in December and my heart still lingers back. It is the most amazing place with the loveliest people and the greatest food. We felt right at home and like royalty all at once. The rooms are amazing, giving you the whole nature experience in a upper class way. The view is picture perfect and heals the... More

For a Volunteer it was very cheap for what I recieved. It was absolute heaven! Myself and another Volunteer was the only people there, So... More

This was by far the best lodge we have stayed during our two week trip in Namibia! Absolutely amazing! The warm welcome, the very kind employees, the amazing food and wine, all this made our two day stay at the lodge an unforgettable experience! You should go for a full carnivore tour in any case. And don´t mess with the... More

Loved Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary and Lodge and the emphasis must be on sanctuary, for this property is totally NON PROFIT and everything goes towards the sanctuary, the release of animals back into the wild where possible and the maintenance in optimum conditions of those that cannot be released due to injury, previous human intervention etc. The work done is amazing,...

This was the first accomodation of our safari and I must say it started very well. This is one of the place I loved the most during my stay in Namibia: the chalets were gorgeous, the food was excellent and the staff was absolutely friendly and professional.

I seriously had the best time ever. The people were really friendly. The food was amazing, the rooms were very special. I loved waking up as the sun was coming up and watching the world change colour and then in the evening watching the local wildlife wander past the room from the comfort of the amazingly comfortable bed. I really... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
N/a'an ku se Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary offers two types of accommodation: one for lodge guests at our luxury charity lodge, and one for volunteers looking to help with conservation. For our lodge guests, the N/a'an ku se Lodge is the ONLY charity lodge in Namibia, with all profits going back to the foundation's conservation and human aid programs. The Lodge offers six individual luxury chalets and five private holiday homes set in the middle of a 3,200ha wildlife reserve in the African Savannah. It is located only 30 minutes away from the airport and therefore makes it the ideal place to stay at the beginning or the end of your journey through Namibia. To view animals, our lodge guests have access to our carnivore tours and game drives, led by our local San Bushmen. For our volunteers, N/a'an ku se's Wildlife Conservation Volunteer Program is located at the Wildlife Sanctuary, and offers volunteers the rare and exciting opportunity to work closely with and actively participate in the conservation of African wildlife. Volunteers can stay from 2 weeks to 3 months and will have the opportunity to care for our orphaned and injured wildlife including a number of lions, leopards, cheetahs, wild dogs, caracals and baboons, etc. Both experiences will leave you with great memories of Namibia while aiding in our conservation efforts which better the lives of the local San Bushmen and our animals. ... more   less
