Grassland Safari Lodge

Excellent family, down-to-earth hospitality. Great experiences catering to a range of interests. We did the tour with the San people, horse ride, game drives, and saw the predator project. We learnt a lot about life in the Kalahari. The Bowers are fantastic hosts and knowledgeable guides who were very happy to answer all our questions. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to see, experience, and learn about the Kalahari.

We had a fantastic stay at Grassland and will definitely be back. The activities are tailored to your preferences and the length of your stay to make the most of your time there. Food and service were also very good.

I almost didn't stay here because there hadn't been any reviews for several years, wasn't sure if they were even open. They are. We were looking for a lodge in Western Botswana where we could experience the desert and meet some San people. did we ever. The lodge is more like a guest house, we were the only guests and had meals with the owners and family every day. There are nice detached chalets. I can't say enough about our experience. we had always wanted to visit the Bushman but only had a short window, staying for two nights. They had some amazing young Bushman trackers take us out and track down a rhino right to the middle of the bush. they showed us how they live, how they use ostrich eggs for water, how they start a fire, roasted nuts etc etc etc. I would say this isn't for people who want a fancy hotel or a resort with room service, but if you are an adventurous type, and have a couple days, this is an enriching stop full of memorable experiences. only stayed two nights, only one full day, but one of our most memorable stays doing our entire month long trip to Africa The biggest challenge is just getting there, the road is very sandy and you have to have a good 4x4 to get there. We tried to drive to the owner's house which was only 7 km away and got stuck in the sand a couple hundred feet from the road. Fortunately the farmer right there knows them and let us park our car, and called them to come get it. Do check on the road conditions before you go and make appropriate arrangements. If you're going to Safari in mound, this is only a two and a half hour drive and easy trip in a rented car. Well worth the effort as it is totally different from the delta. There are other nice lodges inside the Kahalari national park, but we didn't have the time to go, and this is much more reasonably priced
