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.

AiAiba provides a unique experience in the Erongo Mountain region. The hotel is beautiful and peaceful. We would have loved to stay here for a week, if possible. Longer stays are recommended, but we stayed one night as a midway stop between Etosha and Swakopmund. The hike from the hotel to see the cave paintings is well-marked, has amazing views (the sunset is spectacular), and has a lot of cave art paintings. We did not expect to see this many paintings in such a quiet, serene space, which is a nice surprise. The ability to participate in hiking, biking, and other outside sports is enjoyable for all age groups. For the hike, we never found #1 (probably our oversight). Seeing the baboon families on the rocks overhead is exciting and unique to the lodge. We also thought the lights lighting up the rock faces behind the hotel at night were beautifully designed. We highly recommend this eco-friendly hotel. The room can get very cold in the winter at night, but the thick blankets provided helped tremendously. If you are interested in learning more about in cave art in a scholarly way, buy the cave art book (Peter Breunig in collaboration with Gabriel Franke, 2023). There no better source of informative, scientific, and scholarly knowledge on the rock art in the area. The book is well-researched and clearly communicated through the writing, pictures, and diagrams.

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!

Super Unterkunft mit je zwei Einheiten pro Häuschen. Inbegriffene Mahlzeiten waren hervorragend. Ebenfalls wie der Empfang. Wie in jeder Unterkunft, die wir in Namibia hatten, waren alle Corona-Massnahmen vorbildlich. Die Zimmer sind grosszügig und sehr sauber. Einfach nur empfehlenswert.
