Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch
Kalahari
Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch is located on the fringe of the Southern Kalahari, surrounded by a mix of tree and scrub savannah. The reserve itself is crisscrossed by rolling, vegetated dunes, typical of the Kalahari.
Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch inspires a sense of the traditional safari and the pioneering spirit of Africa all rolled into one unique experience.
The Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch’s nerve center is an old rambling farmhouse, renovated as a reception area, comfortable lounge, dining room, bar, wine cellar, office, wellness centre and well-stocked library.
When not relaxing in or around the pool or watching the waterhole with a drink at your side, try a morning nature walk, a nature drive to explore the amazing red dunes, a sundowner atop a dune, viewing the resident cheetahs, or even a horse-back safari.
