Camp Kalahari

Central Kalahari

A rustic camp in a remote part of the Central Kalahari, run by Uncharted Africa Safaris, closed in the rainy season.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the world's largest, a vast plain of fossil valleys and open grassland with lions, gemsbok and springbok. Camps are few and remote, and the sense of space is overwhelming.

Where to stay

Camp Kalahari and a few other small camps offer walking, horseback and vehicle trips, often with San guides who explain how people live in the desert.

Good to know

Most camps close during the rains, from mid-October to March. Nights in winter can fall to freezing.
