Kalahari Plains Camp

Kalahari Plains Camp is situated in a remote part of the diverse and productive Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) and offers some of the best summer wildlife viewing opportunities in Botswana.

Kalahari Plains Camp is perfectly situated on an immense pan just 20km from Deception Valley, and comprises of 10 en suite canvas units with a sleep-out above each from which to enjoy the night skies.

The main area consists of a lounge, dining area and central bar, plus there is a separate swimming pool and deck area.  The tents and main area are all raised off the ground to catch the breeze and take in the sweeping views across the Kalahari.

Solar power provides electricity and hot water, and the innovative insulated canvas walls and roof keep the temperatures inside the units comfortable.

Daily guided game drives from the camp unlock some fascinating wildlife with some of the worlds best cheetah viewing and the legendary, Kalahari, Black-Maned Lion. Interaction with the San Bushman offers guests life-changing insights into the unique culture of this fascinating people.

Thanks to the diversity of habitats, healthy game populations move through the area and are present to a greater or lesser degree all year round, but with the advent of the summer rains (end of November to April) the desert truly comes to life. Short grasses sprout in the pan systems and fossil riverbeds. Plains game such as springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest converge in their hundreds and thousands to feed. This attracts predators which provides some thrilling hunting action.
