Lapa Lange Game Lodge — Hotel in Hardap

I had the pleasure of staying at Lapa Lange Game Lodge during my recent visit to Namibia, and it turned out to be one of the most tranquil and unforgettable experiences of the trip.

Nestled in the heart of the Kalahari, the lodge offers an authentic yet comfortable safari escape. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that instantly made me feel at peace with nature. The thatched-roof chalets are beautifully appointed, offering stunning views of the waterhole—where wildlife like giraffes, antelope, and zebras gather daily. Watching animals from my veranda while sipping a morning coffee was a surreal experience.

The lodge’s restaurant served a delightful mix of local and international cuisine, and the staff made every meal feel personal and homely. Evenings were magical, especially around the fire pit under a starlit sky—one of the clearest skies I’ve ever seen.

A game drive organized by the lodge was a highlight, with experienced guides who shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and ecosystem. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a family-friendly adventure, or a solo escape into nature, Lapa Lange strikes the perfect balance between luxury and authenticity.

Highly recommended for anyone traveling through southern Namibia and wanting a true taste of its natural beauty and warm-hearted...

Our first stop on a round trip thru Nam. After long flights and dust road driving we ended up at this oasis with green gardens and a wild animals drinking pond (big one). We saw the white rinos, ostriches, springboks, wildebeest and a lot of birds.. a lot.. all we could see in a beautiful sunset from our porch with a cigar and cocktails from the bar..

The service is outstanding and Juliana laughs a lot..

The food.. I tell you I'm not easy to be impressed but I would come back only for the food.. that same counts for the breakfast.. umpf I didn't want to leave..

Of course you can do a lot of activities, but we were so happy just to relax and watch the wildlife and of course spend some time with Olive the attention seeking doggy..

I didn't like the automated lawnmower with scary eyes at night and that the rooms were quite dark, but both had their purpose. The pool was not to my liking. It seemed to be in a wrong position and did not look nice in the entire environment..

They have chalets, tents, campsites.....

Beaut8ful Lodge in the Namib Desert very friendly and efficient staff and any request was no trouble to them especially Thelma whom I must mention. The owners were lovely and oversaw the very efficient running of the lodge. Lovely place for the early game drive and we saw 2 White Rhino Ostridge and chick's a very handsome Fox Wilderbeast and Eland. Lots of Birdlip. All this ended with The Sundowner watching the sunset and the moon rising. With glasses of fizz and snakeroos What a perfect ending to a perfect day at Lapa Lange Game reserve and the highlight came the following morning when we met Chica and Merlot in their huge peñ and perfect conditions as they had been rescued from birth and adopted annd hend reared when their mother lost her life. An experience never to have been missed. It...
