Tucked away on Brown Hyaena Island on the edge of the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Camp Kalahari is laidback and understated. It is one of only 3 camps in a one million-acre private wildlife reserve.
There are only 12 large Meru-style tents filled with fresh textiles, Moroccan kilims, and funky four-posters. Shower alfresco in the open-air, ensuite bathrooms. The common areas include a library and a living and dining area, decorated with an eclectic mix of original African furniture and colonial antiques. Meals are simple and tasty, and served, family-style, at the long table. There's also a thatched swimming pool, providing the perfect place for a refreshing dip on a hot afternoon - just watch out for the elephants who might pop in for a quick drink too.
Quad biking, horseback riding, bushman walks and traditional game drives
Great for families - a dedicated family suite and a fence around the camp
Watch 50,000 zebra and wildebeest migrate through the area from January to April
Habituated meerkats who like to use unsuspecting guests as lookout points

Adventure Holiday to Camp Kalahari
A wonderful Camp. The accommodations were basic; however, the management and guide made our stay the best of our trip to Botswana. Olga, the manager, always greeted us upon arrival at the Camp and departing to any outing. She took very good care of us and she was a pleasure to be around. Our Guide,…
