Nestled amongst the acacias and Mokolwane palms of Hyaena Island, on the edge of the ancient super lake and adjacent to the Makgadikgadi National Park, Camp Kalahari returns to the traditional safari style of the old explorers, and is the best way to experience the Makgadikgadi in a fresh and affordable way.

Camp Kalahari is situated in the Makgadikgadi Saltpans,a vast saltpan stretched dead level as far as the eye could see.It is the ideal camp for those who want fun, comfort, style and adventure. Camp Kalahari accepts children of all ages and makes for a fantastic family safari destination.

The camp has ten Meru tents: Seven twin tents, two double tents and one family unit comprising two twin tents with an inter-leading bathroom.

All tents have en suite outdoor bathrooms, flush loos and the hottest wettest showers in the Kalahari.

The tent interiors are classic old safari style, replete with comfy beds, crunchy cotton sheets, stripy African blankets and hot water bottles in winter.

Camp Kalahari’s chef is a talented profssional, noted for his tasty soups and particularly for his "Pilli-Pilli Ho-Ho," a lethal concoction of chillies marinated in sherry and gin.

The outdoor activities are centered around the saltpans.When the rains arrive at the beginning of the wet season, the landscape is transformed.

Water gathers on the saltpan. Algae bloom, crustaceans breed, and clouds of flamingo descend to feed on them.

Then herds of zebra and wildebeest materialise, drawn by the lush grass, and for several months, the desert is teeming with game and predators.
