Evolve Back Kalahari

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.

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.

Evolve Back - Gham Dhaō Lodge is a gem, where bush and luxury meet: delicious food served at the lodge on the terrasse overlooking the at the waterhole or outdoors by a bonfire, sundowner on the rooftop, slumbering beneath the stars in the skybed, while lions roared. The heart of the lodge though, is its thoughtful staff. We experienced outstanding hospitality, had great talks and learned a lot about the bush, animals, Botswana`s history and the spirit of its people. The manager, Thelma, assisted and cared for us in every possible way. We will always treasure the memory of our days at the lodge and the people we got to know there.
