Kept to the bare minimum in terms of comfort and amenity; consisting meru tents with en-suite facilities and running water, and a thatched mess area, Camp Kalahari is a base for exploring this special area on foot and quad bikes. The area is not a game mecca for those that are looking for big mammals but the experience that it offers is just as rewarding given the fascinating and adaptable creatures that inhabit this dramatic, merciless landscape. Come here with your mind open and prepared to revel in the raw beauty.
Location - Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari is a mis-spelt Anglicism of the Setswana name 'Kgaligadi' (or 'thirstland') and although widely known as a desert, it is actually a mosaic of arid and semi-arid habitats that covers most of Botswana, parts of Namibia and northern South Africa. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve occupies 52,800km2 in the centre of Botswana. Composed of salt pans, open grassland, mopane woodlans, old river courses and scrub-covered dunes, the area is rich in wildlife and birds...but you gotta know where to go and when. Jump to page?
