What Our Client's Said
Every stay at Kolonkwanen tells a story – from families reconnecting under the wide Kalahari skies to adventurers finding peace in the silence of nature. Here’s what some of our guests had to share about their experience with us.
"Our stay at Kolonkwanen was nothing short of magical. The silence of the Kalahari is something you have to experience – it’s peaceful yet alive with wildlife. The kids loved the fishing and swimming in the dam, and evenings by the bos braai were unforgettable."
"The sunsets here are unreal – fiery skies that seem to go on forever. We enjoyed biking and hiking during the day, and in the evenings, the braai under the stars felt like pure Africa. Highly recommend for families and groups of friends."
