Camp Kalahari  is a mobile tented camp  of six canvas dome tents along a sandy ridge, under the shade of grove of camelthorn trees and overlooking the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans .

Region:

Makgadikgadi

Lodge Name:

Camp Kalahari

Accommodation:

Camp Kalahari’s long-drop toilets and bucket showers mean that it is best suited for more adventurous travellers . However, its stretcher beds with comfortable bed-rolls and 3-course meals make this much more comfortable than the average camping expedition. Each tent at Camp Kalahari is about 3m x 3m, and has been set up under the shade of a tree. Its porch overlooks the savannah and saltpan in the distance. Three large canvas windows can be partially or fully rolled up to let the air flow through. The ‘front door’ also has an outside canvas cover that can be rolled up or zipped closed depending on the weather. Each window and door has sewn-in mosquito netting to make the tent bug proof.

Additional Info:

The best adventure of all is to travel across the pans on a quad bikes. Quad-biking excursions onto the Ntwetwe Pan are a real feature of your time here, and they’re a great way to travel around the fragile salt crust of these ancient salt pans. Several safari activities are usually done by quad-bike, and these will often include a visit to a site on the pans where stone-age tools and other signs of prehistoric times can be picked up from the surface.

Game Viewing & Activities:

A real highlight of Camp Kalahari is a visit to their resident family of meerkats . Spending a morning with meeekats is completely amazing; they’re incredibly cute and very inquisitive. The meerkats dig up scorpions and pounce on beetles while your guide maintains a running commentary on their social habits and survival strategies.
