Vacation rentals with lake access in Kalahari Desert

I (and I speak for our entire group of 4) would say that this place and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the proactive nature of our host, meeting us at the highway gate to coming by upon our departure and escorting us back out everything was fantastice. We had Springboks, Eland, Wildebeests and Girafe "greet" us up the riverbed while we enjoyed a deserved brew from the covered deck. Later during our stay we had the privilege of seeing Hartebeests, Oryx, and even an inquistive young Sable! Another treat was the several hectar-sized pond and easy 2km hike from the cabin. Egyptian Geese, some Shovelers, Spoonbill and Black-breasted plovers were easy to spot. Then there was the plentiful and excellent supply of firewood, perfect for our daily "braie" or BBQ. Our "braie-meister" was a happy camper as were the rest of us as we feasted on lamb, sausage and ribs. Lastly, we got to know our hosts, Fabienne and Serge. A special treat. We already want to come back!

NINA IS VERY FRIENDLY AND HANDS ON. THE STAY WAS VERY ENJOYABLE

I happened to have an emergency and Lentelie was more than willing to help me. Seldom have I had a host so eager to help a guest. Without the help of this host I would not have managed to cross the border in the timely manner that I did. Thank you Lentelie for everything.

Wir haben dort zwei Tage verbracht und hatten eine wirklich wunderbare Zeit. Das Haus selbst war einfach perfekt für uns. Es war sauber, gemütlich und sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, und wir haben jede Nacht gut geschlafen. Die Küche hatte alles, was wir brauchten, und wir konnten problemlos unsere Mahlzeiten zubereiten. Der Wohnbereich war ebenfalls sehr einladend, und wir haben dort viel Zeit damit verbracht, uns zu entspannen und die schöne Umgebung zu genießen. Die Lage des Hauses war ebenfalls ideal. Es war ruhig und friedlich, aber dennoch in der Nähe von allem, was wir brauchten. Wir konnten leicht die Gegend erkunden und hatten einen tollen Spaziergang durch die Natur. Es war wirklich der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für unsere kleinen Abenteuer. Was jedoch wirklich herausragend war, war die Gastfreundschaft. Sie waren so freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben wirklich dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns wie zu Hause fühlten. Wir danken Ihnen nochmals für alles!

Pianoforte was the perfect place and just what we needed to rest and recharge after some car troubles. The hosts were welcoming and incredibly helpful - responsive to all requests and helped us settle in quickly. The flat itself is spacious while still feeling cozy, and has everything you need (and more!) for a comfortable stay. Location-wise, it cannot be beat as it’s writhin easy walking distance of shops, wonderful cafes and restaurants, and the best of all, the beach! Thank you!

Stayed three months while doing research in Maun. I highly, highly recommend Witness and his place for anyone needing longer term accommodation in town (researchers, volunteers, etc.) It was comfortable and private but also Witness and his team were always there if I needed anything at all during my stay (laundry was a god-send!). It's a more affordable option for longer stays than other places in town that cater exclusively to folks passing through on safari. You'll be incredibly well-looked after but also have your own space with kitchen facilities and all the amenities you need in a one bedroom flat. Witness and his family live on-site, so they are always there with a smile or a helping hand. They make you feel like you are at home, which is wonderful for a longer-term rental. And you'll love getting to know Ginger, the Jack Russell Terrier!
