Game Drives
Camp Kalahari sits among acacias and Mokolwane palms on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. A relaxed, family-friendly camp, ideal for those seeking fun and adventure, without sacrificing comfort or style.
The camp is an eclectic mix of original African furnishings paired with traditional campaign furniture and colonial antiques. Guests can relax in the traditional lounge/dining area, or cool off in the large swimming pool. All 12 spacious Meru tents - 6 twin, 4 double and 2 family tents, are en-suite and furnished with rich textiles, Moroccan kilims, and four poster beds.
Guests can enjoy a range of year-round activities: Get up close and personal with a gang of friendly habituated meerkats; walk with Zu/’hoasi Bushmen for a glimpse into their ancient culture; game drive to experience unique desert wildlife; visit the Fallen Baobab, campsite of Livingstone & Selous and one of Africa’s three largest, oldest trees.
Dry season only: quad bike across the lunar expanse of the pans; lie out on the pans as the sun sets; watch the planetarium show unfold with horizon-to-horizon stars. Wet season only: experience the spectacular migration of zebra and wildebeest, the second biggest in Africa and the last remaining in Southern Africa.

Get up close and personal with our families of habituated meerkats. Head out from camp at sunrise, so that you are ready to tail these delightful omnivores as they set off in search of their breakfast. Walk amongst them (advised by your guide) and if you take a seat you might be lucky enough to be mistaken for a termite mound, where you'll be used as a look out point for predators.
Spend time walking with a group of Zu/’hoasi Bushmen for a glimpse into their ancient culture, understanding how they use the flora and fauna to survive in this sparse environment.
Enjoy a 2 hour morning or afternoon leisurely horse riding activity across the pans with our expert riding guide. This activity is not included in the nightly rate so should be booked additionally. Guests booking the horse riding activity will forfeit the other Camp activities running at the same time.

Pans, doors off (or on), to take in the vastness
of this desert landscape. You’ll go in search of
the zebra and flamingo migrations (if timed
