Kalahari Plains Camp

Kalahari Plains Camp is located in the Central Kalahari area of Botswana. It is one of only two high quality options with the enormous Central Kalahari Reserve. It is a pleasantly simple facility offering excellent levels of hospitality and is relatively well priced. Situated on an immense pan, Kalahari Plains Camp lies in a remote part of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a place famed for its outstanding wildlife with vast herds of antelope followed by abundant predators – including the legendary black-maned Kalahari lions and lively honey badgers. This region also offers some of the best summer wildlife viewing in Africa.

Kalahari Plains comprises eight en-suite canvas units with private verandas (including one family unit), all accessed by ground-level pathways. Incredibly, each room has an upper deck upon which guests can sleep out under the stars. The lounge and dining area has a separate swimming pool and deck. The camp is raised off the ground to catch the breeze and take in the sweeping, spacious views across the Kalahari. Solar power provides electricity and hot water, and the innovative insulated canvas walls and roof keep the temperatures inside comfortable.

Twice daily game drives or full-day excursions take place in open 4-wheel drive vehicles and directed towards the seasonal movements of the wildlife. Guided game drives unlock the wildlife treasures found here, and authentic San Bushman experiences provide insights into the unique culture of this people, their skills and way of life.
