About This Property

Camp Kalahari sits among the acacias of Hyena Island, in a private concession on the edge of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. It brings back the old explorers’ style of safari, but with a relaxed, fun spirit.

When the summer rains arrive, zebra and wildebeest migrate through and flamingos turn up. Dry winters bring easy weather, good game and quad-bike rides across the endless salt pans.
