Best lodge I stayed at on my 17day Namibia trip.
What an amazing lodge in the middle of nowhere. The surroundings is just incredible beautiful and you will experience the best sunsets. I could kick myself for only booking one night. Dinner was fantastic too. First we started with a Brioche with three different kinds of butter, followed by an amazing salad, then Beef filet on a delicious mushroom sauce and to finish all this off a nice pudding for dessert. In the morning I had springboks right in front of the veranda. Will definitely go there again!

Skippable
The area around the property is cool, really nice rock formations. The property itself from the outside looks unique but other than that it’s skippable. Check in was extremely inconvenient and long (couple of hours), no capability to pay via credit card on checkout. Staff not helpful or knowledgeable on questions about vicinity. Go to Spitzkoppe instead.

We chose Ai Aiba to spend our 10th Anniversary during a two week trip to Namibia and we were not dissappointed. The food was excellent and location is just pure magic. We hiked over the rocks at the back of the lodge and saw San paintings.

Chill out in the mountains
Brilliant place just to stop and chill. We had been travelling for a while, visiting and driving ot was good just to have a pulse of days downtime in a very beautiful part of the country. Staff were really accommodating and very adaptable to what we wanted to do. Good was good but the evening meal was a little like European prices. Not a place that you would drop in to, you have to book and give yourself plenty of time drying through the conservation area

Wunderschöne Lodge umgeben von Felsen
Wir können die Lodge wärmstens empfehlen. Wunderschönes Ambiente, toller Service, geschmackvolle Einrichtung, wunderschöne Landschaft! Man ist direkt im Urlaub angekommen. Die Anfahrt sind ca. 50km über Schotterpiste - lohnt sich aber total! Eine Sundowner-Wanderung mit Guide ist im Preis inbegriffen (lohnt sich! Ist sehr interessant!). Wir können die Lodge absolut weiterempfehlen!

Frühstück ok und Abendessen (Menü) sehr umfangreich. Leider sind die organisierten Ausflüge im Vergleich zu anderen Lodges gefühlt etwas zu teuer.
