Magical place
Maybe this is the most beautiful part of all Namibia, hard to see with so many spectacular landscapes. But the property of Ai Aiba is just mindblowing and surreal. You go there for the landscape and the granite boulders, for the hiking and cycling but we were surprised to find some 20 giraffes on our guided walk. On the sunset drive: some interesting birds and landscape, landscape, landscape. The hike to the sundowner spot above the lodge spot is a serious hike, do not underestimate the steepness and only try with good shoes. But so worth it. The marked trail is also very nice. Chalets are nice with views to the waterhole. The design keeps the high temperatures outside very well. Food was very good and guiding was first class. Stay two nights, one is not enough. I would go back without hesitation.
