Evolve Back Kalahari

Really wonderful experience. Our stay was very private, intimate and exclusive, with the best service we have ever had. Everyone, from the manager, to the guide, the searcher and the full staff were always next level in the details and service provided. The rooms are incredible, ample and very nice decorated. They all count with two showers and two beds depending if you want to take a shower/sleep outside or inside each day. The place is very remote and magical, and we could even hear the lions during the night. The meals prepared by the team variated every day and were delicious, and each night the dinner was served in a different location. They succeeded in making every day unique. We stayed during our Honeymoon in other luxury lodges in Botswana but this one was by far the best, not only because of the rooms but the quality of the experience, and the people. I would highly recommend visiting them well before any other option.

Incredible place to stay . Very attentive staff with great food and drink on offer . Beautiful rooms including an open air sleeping platform. Thelma is an excellent manager and great company . Great game drives in the Kalahari with Zizie and Xame spotting wildlife and stargazing . Beautiful landscapes and sunsets. A truly unique experience.

This was our fifth travel to Africa, and the second to Botswana. I was expecting that our staying at Evolve Back Kalahari would be the cherry on top of the cake so we left it for the end, before our journey back home (Portugal). At the end of the third week, after landing in Cap Town and traveling in Namibia, Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe), Savute and the Okavango Delta we finally got to Evolve Back. There we really had a perfect ending. Starting, on our arrival, with the free upgrading to sky-luxe tent. Thelma (the manager) and all the staff made our staying unforgettable. The meals, prepared by the Chefs, were excellent. The wine offer to go with every meal was wide and top-notch. Our guide Fagasa was excellent and always trying to teach us about what we were seeing and at the same time showing is knowledge and love for wildlife and the Kalahari. Xiikae (Joey for us, to make it easier), a bushman, was a marvelous tracker. I don't know how he saw a chameleon on top of a tree at night without a flashlight!!! The journey on foot with the resident San People, and their kindness in showing how they used to live was unbelievable. We stayed for two days but I wished we had time to stay there at least two more days. We already miss it and hope to get there in the future. Kalahary and Evolve Back are both incredible gems of Botswana. It was really the cherry on top of the cake!!!

It is difficult to summarise the excellence of the 2-day experience at Evolve Back Kalahari. Its two accommodation options, the classic tents (somewhat cheaper), or its fascinating skybeds, which allow you to sleep in a luxurious tent with every detail, or in the elevated annex with the Kalahari sky as your protection, give you the option of choosing what best suits your budget. And with both options you will enjoy excellence during your stay: a staff attentive at all times to your slightest need. A spectacular pool in which to cool off in the central hours of the day. A delicate cuisine, worthy of any high-end restaurant. A perfectly coordinated and professional work team so that nothing goes wrong, with of course special mention to the manager who coordinates them, Thelma Wame, following the protocols of the prestigious company Evolve Back. And all this would be minimised without the excellent safari experience offered by the Kalahari in Botswana. From the common area, you hardly need to get into the safari car, with the constant transit of all species to drink from the perfectly located waterhole in front, an effort for conservation: zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, kudus, impalas, hyenas at night... A safari experience that is rounded off by the expert guide and tracker who took us to explore and show us some of the many secrets of the Kalahari, wrongly called a desert, due to the great abundance of life of all kinds (birds, mammals, reptiles, plants...) adapted to this harsh habitat characterized by the scarcity of water. Here, special mention and thanks to Zizie, our guide for his incredible array of knowledge that he did not hesitate to share, and Xama, our tracker, an open book about the land where his tribe has survived for hundreds of years by understanding and respecting it.

We had a wonderful experience. The staff is just amazing. The guides and trackers have a deep knowledge to share and are passionate about their wildlife and nature. The game drives are very rewarding. The lodge is nicely embedded in the surroundings built with natural material and of very high standard. The kitchen is 5 star.

We had a fantastic 4 days in your resort. All staff were treating so nicely. Food was excellent. Rooms were very clean & comfortable. We enjoyed so much in Safari. Free man & George are very nice.This trip is one of most memorable one. Thank you so much Telma for your great service.
