Torgos Lodge consists of four breathtaking thatched tents, each with an en-suite bathroom sleeping two guests. The tents are far enough apart to provide total privacy. The Lapa provides a bar, dining and lounge facilities, while the boma provide outdoor barbeque and enjoyment for star-lit evenings Torgos Lodge offers what few others can.
Situated alongside the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, there are abundant wildlife, passing through our area. Our lodge is surrounded by waves or red dunes and a roof of camel thorn trees. Unique to our area are the wide open spaces and open skies. Situated in the Auob riverbed, which is dry most of the year.
We have plenty of wildlife on our area. Game drives are done early at daybreak and at sundown, ending the drive with a sundowner on one of our highest dunes, overlooking the magnificent Kalahari. Situated 5 km from our lodge are the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which can be entered in the mornings for self-drives and picnics. Our main drinking waterhole is situated close to the main facilities walking distance. We offer guided nature walks and bird watching. Accommodation: You will find a fully equipped, luxurious tented camp with a lapa and boma in the dry river bed among the dunes and camel thorn trees.
"Our family really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was very well appointed but kept the safari feel. It was very special to sit at our braai next to the waterhole watching all the animals and the moon."
"Thanks for the nice warm welcome. Excellent food, very friendly. The tents are clean and in winter a little bit cold but as you are in bed it is very comfortable to have a heating blanket."
"Torgo's is the most magical place to stay. We overnighted there and had a comfy room, a stunning dinner, drinks by the fire whilst watching the springbok and wildebeest drink, a good night's sleep and a breakfast to die for. Our hosts were efficient, warm and wonderful people who made the entire experience memorable. I would recommend this establishment with no reservations whatsoever."
"We once again had the most fantastic 4 nights at Torgo's. The facilities are immaculate, the food local and "lekker"! The surroundings fantastic. The waterhole at night always has something to see. The hosts and staff friendly and helpful! I wish it was closer to home. Would definitely be back more often. Will recommend it anywhere, anytime!"
"We had a mixed experience at Torgo's, the tent/bungalows in which we stayed did not meet the price/quality standard we expected. The lack of a fridge and air conditioning made our stay, during the soaring summer, rather uncomfortable. The surroundings of the lodge are beautiful and the food which was prepared for us was great.Please note that the rules for using the Mata Mata border crossing are rigorously implemented .. EACH time you use this border crossing you need to stay at least two nights in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP). Even if you stay just one night in Torgo's because all the camps in KTP are fully booked."
"We spent an overnight at Torgos after leaving the Kgalagadi Park en route home and it turned out to be an excellent decision. The food was wonderfully cooked, very tasty indeed and the accommodation in the tents was comfortable and more than adequate. Watching game drinking at the floodlit waterhole in the evening was an added bonus. All in all it represented excellent value and we would return very happily."
"My husband and I spent 6 nights at Torgo's and after a week my husband said that it felt as though we had been away for a month. We were so relaxed, the whole setup is amazing and the people were fabulous. Dirk, Erika, Thangi and Mogarno really made us feel very welcome. Would love to return one day!"
"This was an excellent experience - the rooms are neat and welcoming."
"Very comfortable accommodation. The owners and staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful."

"We had a fantastic time at Torgo's Lodge. The facilities are well planned and neat. The hospitality is fantastic and superb local food is available. Being close to the Mata Mata gate is an added advantage. Will certainly visit again."
"A very enjoyable stay. Accommodation is excellent and the hosts friendly with a lovely relaxed atmosphere."
"After spending over a week of camping in Namibia our stay at Torgos was pure bliss. Certainly the place to relax in luxury with the staff and management extremely professional and looking after all your needs. Will certainly be back to enjoy the peace and quite in a very special Kalahari setting (especially the meals)."
"Very enjoyable stay - would have loved to stay longer. Dirk and Janine are excellent hosts and together with their staff they make a good team. Food was not very impressive, but we did not care much about that because the environment made up for that. Beer and wine was good."
"True afrikaans hospitality. great location, good accommodation and good food. Very kind hosts! "
"The hosts Dirk and Janine were naturally warm and hospitable. the food was outstanding and our 'jakkal jag' was the highlight of my trip!! i would definetly go back and have recommended Torgos to all my friends. a real gem of a place. thanks again to dirk and janine."
" Owners were very friendly. We had 2 cold nights with -10 at least, but the electric blankets helped us not to get cold at night!"
"Torgo´s is a good option for those who want to stay outside the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Parc. The lodge is very close to the Mata Mata Gate (5km).The chalets were spotless clean and had nice african decoration.The food was good and the hosts very nice and helpful.We enjoyed the evening drive with a beautiful sundowner.Hope to come back soon."
"Gorgeous little stay, very warm welcome,very nice food always served on a neatly laid table.Attentive hosts having a real sense of hospitality,doing their utmost for the well-being of their guests. A lodge to be recommended to all nature lovers !"
