A unique experience for first timers in Namibia. Best part, in our opinion, was the extensive network of mountain bike trails and e-bike activity option. Amazing way to experience the landscape!

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.

High quality in a remote setting

This lodge is in a great location and although the bush trips won't quicken your pulse, the knowledgeable guides make them a good experience.

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

Nice property with a beautiful self hike which you should definitely do in the morning. Rooms are spacious and nice but will need an upgrade in the next couple of years. Main area is very nice, food was very good, staff was polite but a bit stiff. Overal definitely a place i would stay again.

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!
