Camp Kalahari

Location and Access:  Camp Kalahari is situated in the remote Makgadikgadi Saltpans, possibly the birthplace of man.  It is located amongst the acacias and Mokolwane palms of Hyaena Island on the edge of an ancient super lake, adjacent to the Makgadikgadi National Park. 
 
Access to Camp Kalahari is either via charter flight or self-drive from Planet Baobab, accompanied by a Camp Kalahari representative, or by road transfer from Planet Baobab.

Accommodation: Camp Kalahari has ten Meru tents (including a family tent), with en-suite outdoor bathrooms and hot showers.  Tents are classic in style with comfortable beds, and cotton sheets.

General Camp Details: There is a large and comfortable thatched library, lounge and dining area. All meals are included during your stay, prepared under the watchful eye of a talented chef.

Activities and experiences: Camp Kalahari offers you a traditional safari in the style of old explorers, with the Makgadikgadi Pans being its main area of focus.

During the Dry Season (15 April – 31 October): The birds and animals migrate and guests are able to experience the vastness of the Makgadikgadi on quad bikes. Bushman walks offer a window into the past. Visits to Chapman’s Baobab, the third largest tree in Africa, where Livingstone and Selous camped. Game such as aardvark, gemsbok and springbuck are prevalent, along with the elusive brown hyaena.  Walk through the Kalahari with a gang of habituated but wild meerkat.

During the Wet Season (1 November – 14 April):  The landscape is transformed as water gathers in the Pan.  Algae bloom, crustaceans breed and flamingos arrive. Herds of zebra and wildebeest are drawn to the lush grass, and the predators follow them.  You will  be able to witness this migration, the second largest in Africa.
