Overview

Camp Kalahari's location on a private concession bordering the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park makes it the ideal base from which to experience a true African safari. Set among the acacias of Hyena Island, it is perfect for those in search of that unique combination of style, comfort, fun and adventure.

There's never a dull moment at Camp Kalahari, whether it's the wet or dry season. The summer rains trigger a local zebra and wildebeest migration as well as amazing bird watching - keep your eyes peeled for flamingos. The dry winter season offers comfortable conditions and great game viewing as well as adventure activities - take an exhilarating quad bike ride across the Makgadikgadi Pans and soak up the vastness of the Kalahari Desert.

This camp has a very laid-back atmosphere in a truly unique setting. I loved the different activities on offer and learned so much during my stay; about the bushmen, the meercats, how animals adapt to living in such dry conditions, and much more.
