Mariental
Anandi Guest House is situated in the Namibian southern central town of Mariental, approxiamately 260km from Windhoek, 220km from Keetmanshoop and 560km from Luderitz. It would be an ideal stopover to visit Hardap Dam or on to the Kalahari Desert. Most visitors use the town as a convenient place to refuel or to take an overnight break.
Mariental stands on the edge of the Kalahari Desert. The area has long been a centre for the Nama people, who are of mainly Khoi-Khoi descent. Hardap Dam attracts it's fair share of birders and small boats enthusiasts. Town facilities include a garage/tyre repair, banks, ATM, supermarket and a number of restaurants.
Amenities at Anandi Guest House include a restaurant, swimming pool, Wi-Fi Internet facility, braai and a function room that can double up as a conference centre for up to 60 delegates. Breakfast, a light lunch and dinner are served and lunch packs can be ordered the previous evening.
There are 10 tastefully furnished rooms including a honeymoon suite and luxury rooms. En-suite bathrooms, single and double beds, air-conditioning, tea/coffee station, fridge and satellite TV are standard. The luxury rooms have a spa-bath which leads out onto a private patio. All rooms lead out onto the garden. Families are welcome.

Situated in Mariental across the road from the Engen 1-Stop / Wimpy Take-Away. In Riverstreet next to B1 Main road:
Bagatelle Kalahari Lodge
Excellent lodge in the Kalahari Desert, offers accommodation in units made of straw bales or wood. Bagatelle proves to be consistently popular with guests
Hardap Dam Resort
Really only suitable for fisherman - until renovations happen it is probably best not to subject yourself to this.
Kalahari Anib Lodge
Tends to cater for larger groups, but the low rates make it attractive for those looking to save some money.
Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge
A 12 room lodge situated in a nature reseve and set amongst the red dunes of the Kalahari Desert
Suricate Kalahari Tented Camp
The meerkat or suricate is a small mammal which inhabits the Kalahari - we do not know why this lodge is named after them. Perhaps if you stay here and find out you can tell us and then we can make this slightly more descriptive.
Zebra Kalahari Lodge
The third lodge on the Intu Afrika Kalahari Game Reserve (along with Suricate & Camethorn Lodges). The Kalahari is absolutely magnificent and really should be a part of any visit to Namibia.
