Camp Kalahari

Safari and Wildlife Lodge
Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana

Located on Hyena Island at the edge of an ancient super lake and adjacent to the Makgadikgadi National Park, is the classically quaint, Camp Kalahari. Accommodation consists of ten classic safari tents of which one is a family unit.

Main camp facilities include a thatched library, lounge, dining area and a swimming pool which has a deck with thatched shady comfortable seating.

With two distinct seasons in the Makgadikgadi, the dry season and the wet season, a variety of activities are offered, adjusted to match the season.

There are day trips for game viewing with a focus on the annual zebra and wildebeest migration, quad biking adventures on the vast and endless salt pans, informative Bushman interactions, visits to Chapman’s Baobab and magical encounters with the pixie-faced Meerkats.

Why we like Camp Kalahari

A visit to Chapman’s Baobab is not to be missed. The tree is estimated to be over 4,500 years old and was used as a post box for Livingstone, Selous and other early explorers

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Jack’s Camp £££££

Botswana
Safari and Wildlife Lodge

Jack’s Camp is located deep in the Kalahari Desert on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, the largest saltpans in the world. This classic desert safari camp has ten large walk-in tents (romantically lit by paraffin in the evenings). Facilities include a mess tent for dining and a tea tent with Persian carpet cushions for socialising. After the rains (December to April), enormous herds of wildebeest, zebra and springbok will appear on the open grasslands and their accompanying predators of course. The summer rains also leave a warm shallow layer of water that entices waterfowl and flamingos. Activities are seasonal and include game drives, quad biking, guided walks with a Bushman tracker and a visit to Chapman’s Baobab, the historical baobab tree used by Livingstone, Selous and other early explorers.

San Camp £££££

Botswana
Safari and Wildlife Lodge

Situated on the edge of the vast and mysterious Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in the midst of the Kalahari Desert, is one of Botswana’s most romantic camps, San Camp. The camp lies amongst sparsely dotted fan palms and grasslands, with 360 degrees of nothing-ness crossing the eye but the bowl of the sky and curvature of the earth. The six large, white traditional canvas tents face the shore of a sparkling salt pan, privately set apart in dramatic locations.
