Overview of Camp Kalahari

Botswana, Makgadikgadi, Kalahari

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.

    Great experiences: walking with the bushmen, the meerkats (they even climbed on our heads!), the quad in the desert and the famous surprise night in the desert. Amazing! They kept it a surprise until they took us to our beds in the darkness :). They do not talk about it because the conditions are not always right (there can be too much wind) and they do not want people to be disappointed. We were lucky and honestly will never forget the dinner with the coals beneath our seats to keep us warm and waking up with the sun in the middle of the salt pan. Epic!

    The guide and the staff were also super nice, and the camp was really nice as well and the food authentic. There are less animals, and you see them from further away but that is to be expected. Probably good to start there because you could be underwhelmed if you start in the Delta first, only from the POV of animals though because the other experiences were outstanding!

    Camp Kalahari – Warm and friendly staff and have never seen that many zebra and wildebeest in one place…thousands! The food at all the places was great. And all accommodated food allergies so well. The personal touches for my parents’ anniversary celebration was so nice. Camp Kalahari went above and beyond and the entire staff came in to sing traditional celebratory songs that capped off our trip perfectly. It was stunning.

    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.

    Camp Kalahari created lifetime memories. The quad biking and view of those stars was breathtaking. How they created such wonderful meals in the middle of no where was quite amazing. The Meerkats were also a top attraction.

    The sleep out was actually the first night and on Kev's birthday. It was a exceptionally fantastic night for sure, especially because the entire thing was a surprise – thank you so much for recommending this place to us!! I think this was probably the most amazing night of the entire trip to be honest and there were many amazing things!!

    Camp Kalahari was our favourite of the holiday. Everyone over there was lovely, warm, welcoming and we had a great time – although it was very very warm over there (around 44 C in the shade). The food was brilliant, it was soooo delicious. What we really appreciated was the more personal yet still very professional approach – not like camps which have over 20 tents for example. We got to meet & greet the meerkats, which was a great experience 🙂
