Northern Cape Famous Lodges

Northern Cape Famous Lodges is a collection of pristine Kalahari lodges ideally situated in the Northern Cape en route to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Owner Jeán Lambrechts has made it his absolute priority to ensure that visitors have a comfortable and memorable stay.

For an avid nature lover, visiting any one of the NC Famous Lodges will be a delightful treat, as there is so much to do. In fact, it can be quite hard to fit all the activities into a single visit.

Visitors who decide to make one of NC Famous Lodges their preferred destination can expect to experience the following at each unique lodge:

Molopo Kalahari Lodge

The Kalahari Molopo is an ideal stopover on your way to the Park or merely a breakaway from the busy city life. Guests can get an authentic Kalahari experience while enjoying a real farmhouse breakfast with the first rays of sunlight, enjoy a 4×4 game drive or sundowner cruise, play a round of human chess, relax next to the huge swimming pool, watch a game of rugby on the big-screen TV, or just arrive and relax. Guests can also treat themselves to mouth-watering meals throughout the day at the restaurant, which is also open to the public, or they can just socialise at their very famous Kalahari Bar.

EJ Marilie Rossouw had the following to say about Molopo: “We had such a lovely stay at Molopo, the food was outstanding and the service was even better! Thank you.”

Letsatsi Lodge

Letsatsi Lodge is the latest addition to the N.C. Famous Lodges group and is a convenient lodge destination for any discerning tourist or business person. Accommodation at this Namaqualand paradise is guaranteed to satisfy every taste.

Rene Zerf had the following to say about Letsatsi Lodge: “On visiting Namaqualand and staying over in Klawer, to our disappointment, we couldn’t find anywhere to eat. What a pleasant surprise when we drove to Vanrhynsdorp and found Letsatsi. We had the most scrumptious breakfast there on the 4th of Sept. On our return trip to Cape Town a few days later, there was no hesitation in where we were going to have dinner. On both occasions we were very impressed by the food as well as the service.”

Letsatsi is also home to the Red Ox Steakhouse where you can treat your business associate or special partner. The steakhouse offers a wide variety of culinary delights and superior coffees. Meat lovers will favour the chef’s daily blackboard specials!

Simone Wentzel: “Beautiful lodge and venue for a function or wedding. Such a beautiful church. There are Springboks ons the premises and a dam with ducks. The restaurant has amazing food, especially the buffet breakfast. I feel super relaxed after our weekend away. Thank you Dwane for our coffee in bed and extra wood for braai!”
