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.

A unique experience for first timers in Namibia. Best part, in our opinion, was the extensive network of mountain bike trails and e-bike activity option. Amazing way to experience the landscape!

This lodge is a gem in the middle of the desert. The views from the room and dining area are priceless.

What an amazing lodge in the middle of nowhere. The surroundings is just incredible beautiful and you will experience the best sunsets. I could kick myself for only booking one night. Dinner was fantastic too. First we started with a Brioche with three different kinds of butter, followed by an amazing salad, then Beef filet on a delicious mushroom sauce and to finish all this off a nice pudding for dessert. In the morning I had springboks right in front of the veranda. Will definitely go there again!

The area around the property is cool, really nice rock formations. The property itself from the outside looks unique but other than that it’s skippable. Check in was extremely inconvenient and long (couple of hours), no capability to pay via credit card on checkout. Staff not helpful or knowledgeable on questions about vicinity. Go to Spitzkoppe instead.

We chose Ai Aiba to spend our 10th Anniversary during a two week trip to Namibia and we were not dissappointed. The food was excellent and location is just pure magic. We hiked over the rocks at the back of the lodge and saw San paintings.

This lodge is in a great location and although the bush trips won't quicken your pulse, the knowledgeable guides make them a good experience.

Brilliant place just to stop and chill. We had been travelling for a while, visiting and driving ot was good just to have a pulse of days downtime in a very beautiful part of the country. Staff were really accommodating and very adaptable to what we wanted to do. Good was good but the evening meal was a little like European prices. Not a place that you would drop in to, you have to book and give yourself plenty of time drying through the conservation area

Die Lage der Lodge ist überwältigend. Die einzelnen Bungalows liegen auseinander, sodaß Privatsphäre gegeben ist. Die Zimmer sind groß und bieten jeden Komfort. Das Personal ist ungewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Hele leuke plek om steeds weer te keren.Zeer fijn zwembad heel fris maar leuk om baantjes te trekken. Mooie wandelingen rond the lodge. Het eten heeft wel een upgrade sinds een paar weken. Was heel lekker. Kamers fijn om in te vertoeven en netjes.
