Ai Ais has recently been rennovated, so I think that older postings relating to it's construction site appearance can be overlooked. The rennovations have been completed, and to be honest, they have done a pretty good job. If you are coming from Germanic Europe and are used to five star all singing and dancing spas, then you may be disappointed.... More

Good clean NWR site with free access to indoor spa (large outdoor pool closed for maintenance). Not busy. Nice walk alongside the Fish River. Very hot though - over 50 degrees! Water was 65 degrees from the hot springs but they cool that down - thankgoodness. Maintenance of whole site could be improved a little and staff just seemed eager... More

We camped at Ais-Ais in July 2010 for a night before and a night after hiking the Fish River Canyon. The campsite was more than adequate and the ablutions were very clean with decent showers. We had access to all the pools and found them to be very clean and a real blessing especially after doing a 5 day hike.... More

Ai-Ais resort is set amongst some of the most awesome natural beauty we've ever seen. Our room was great, comfortable & clean. The hot springs were delightfully relaxing. Everything was just great except the service. On arrival, the receptionist continued with her private telephone conversation while we stood waiting to check in. Later at the bar, we wanted to order... More

This hot springs resort is niched in a desolate valley in the middle of a moutainous desert-like wasteland, about a hundred miles from the nearest town, but it was one of the highlights of our visit to Namibia. It was a surprise how modern the whole thing is, and the installations are of good quality. We stayed in one of... More

I was gobsmacked when of Nomad Safari truck wheeled into the grounds of this resort! After a long long drive over very rocky roads that seemed to have endless rocky and barren mountain terrain rewarded I must admit by the mighty Fish River Canyon. The camp was like an oasis in the desert.......and the hot springs a real bonus! Our... More

We arrived at the Springs after a very long drive from Windhoek, and were pleasantly surprised by the resort, we were given 1 room each, and both had a sitting area, with stairs to a lower bedroom with two big single beds, and a shower room down a hall, and a door that led to an indoor, very hot swimming...

I've travelled extensively around Namibia and stayed in a wide variety of accommodation from camping to upmarket lodges. The rooms at Ai Ais represent by far the nicest accommodation I have stayed in, for the price range (N$500 per person per night in August 2010). The accommodation is recently renovated and double rooms feature two large twin beds set side-by-side... More

We really loved this resort. We were there off season in March and a heat wave struck at that time so it was very, very hot!! Our room was "mountain view" - not much of a mountain to see but we didn't care. The room was enormous and consisted of a hallway linking three rooms - bathroom, bedroom and lounge/sitting... More

The last time I was in Ai Ais I was 9 years old (and I am a lot older now)! I was pleased to see that the area remains unspoilt and Ai Ais is a wonderful oasis in a barren landscape which is quite beautiful in itself. The resort has been recently upgraded and there are a number of things... More
