4 Days | 3 Nights – Camp Kalahari
Camp Kalahari sits amongst the acacias and Mokolwane palms of Brown Hyaena Island, on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Here you’ll get to explore this wild, unspoilt area in the same way many of the earliest explorers, hunters and missionaries did – on horseback! Embark on adventurous outrides around the crusty flats, meeting the habituated meerkats and following the animal highways that bring life to this lunar like landscape.
In-between all your riding explorations, enjoy game drives, a walk with the San Bushmen, and siestas around the swimming pool – a soothing escape from the desert sun. At the height of the zebra migration the adjoining grasslands are awash with zebra, wildebeest and more. Expect incredible scenery, memorable wildlife encounters and above all super horse riding!
Camp Kalahari lies on the eastern edge of Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. Charming and understated, you’ll find 12 Meru style tents filled with campaign furniture, comfy four poster beds, old maps and Persian rugs. Eclectic in style, the main area offers a small library and comfy sofas. Dinners are served at the long dining table, the perfect place to chat about you’re day’s riding activities. This is an ideal base to come back to after a day out discovering all the treasures that lie amongst the crusty salt flats.
This safari starts and ends in Maun in Botswana. One of the best times to visit the Makgadikgadi Pans is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the pans are dried up and you can easily access them for activities. During green season, which runs from November to March-June, witness the second largest migration of zebra and wildebeest in Africa (and it’s the last remaining one in Southern Africa).
