Kalahari Plains Camp is a tented camp situated in a remote part of the diverse and productive Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The Kalahari Desert biome is a place famed for its outstanding wildlife with vast herds of antelope and legendary black-maned Kalahari lions.
The camp is beautifully situated on a low sandy ridge fringing a typical Kalahari pan and comprises ten Meru-style en-suite tents, including two family units, each with a sleep-out area from which to enjoy the night skies. The camp is raised off the ground to catch the breeze and take in the sweeping, spacious views across the Kalahari. There is a star-gazing deck on the roof above the bar and an open campfire area in front where dinner is usually served if the weather allows.

A classic camp, it was comfortable and I loved watching the antelope and birds from my verandah. A severe storm brought water bubbling up through the slatted floorboards of the bathroom and everything, clothes on shelves and bed included, felt damp and sticky. I didn't like the salty water for sh…
Amazing and quite different from the other two. Nothing was too much trouble and the room service was quite outstanding. Well above the call of duty to make up the bed and tidy the room during the morning drive on last day, even though check out was not until 11 am. Sleeping under the stars was suc…
My comments regarding the other two camps apply equally to Kalahari Plains. The semi desert terrain and the different animals, flora and fauna made a nice contrast to the other two camps.
