Feel closer - at the new Kalahari Anib Lodge

Something old, something new: The beautiful courtyard at the Kalahari Anib Lodge will be left as is.

Kalahari Anib Lodge will be undergoing a rigorous three-month facelift early next year. Following the rebranding in 2014, the ‘Feel Closer’ theme will now be implemented to enhance the Kalahari experience of our guests. The lodge will close for alterations and extensive renovations on 4 January 2016 and reopen on 1 April.

“We trust that our partners will understand,” says Miriam Schmidt, the marketing manager of the Gondwana Collection. “Renovations have to be carried out at all the lodges at regular intervals in order to maintain the quality of the product. Alterations at Kalahari Anib Lodge will be so extensive that we decided to close for three months rather than expect guests to put up with the disturbances of construction work in progress.”

The freestanding chalets of the lodge complex will be converted into 22 comfort rooms including family units with fantastic views of the savannah. The 30 standard rooms around the courtyard will be thoroughly upgraded.

"On the whole we will bring more nature into the lodge”, says the architect in charge, Sven-Erik Staby. “The access road to the lodge will be shifted and lead through more enticing scenery in future. Walkways will be constructed behind the chalets so that guests can enjoy uninterrupted vistas of the savannah. And the new restaurant and large terrace will offer wonderful views of the waterhole to the east.” 

Kalahari Anib Lodge will reopen on 1 April 2016. Our guests can look forward to a spacious new main building which will house the reception, a souvenir shop, a bar and a restaurant with a terrace of generous proportions.

Gondwana Namibia invests in wastewater treatment plants

Gondwana Collection is Namibian group of 14 lodges around Namibia where management has realised the importance of saving water and started to install wastewater treatment plants back in 2006 at its lodges.

All Gondwana's establishments are located in remote areas of Namibia and are not connected to central water supply systems. Lodges use borehole pumped water trying to save as much as possible of this precious commodity. Wastewater treatment plants were installed to supplement water supply. The recycled water is chiefly used for garden irrigation. The first plant was installed back in 2006 at the Namib Desert Lodge with all others following suit gradually.

Gondwana's accommodation establishments include Canyon Lodge, Canyon Village, Canyon Road House, Canyon Mountain Camp, Kalahari Anib Lodge, Kalahari Farmhouse, Etosha Safari Lodge, Etosha Safari Camp, Namushasha Lodge, Hakusembe Lodge and Damara Mopane Lodge. Gondwana's newest addition to portfolio is Swakopmund's Delight Hotel.
