Kalahari Plains Camp
Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana
Why we love it
Kalahari Plains Camp is set in a remote part of the diverse and productive Central Kalahari Game Reserve and offers some of the best summer wildlife viewing opportunities in Africa. Located in the Kalahari Desert biome in the central part of Botswana, this reserve is the largest conservation area in the country and one of the largest in the world. Its star attractions include the legendary Kalahari black-maned lion as well as some of the world’s best cheetah viewing.
Kalahari Plains Camp, overlooking an immense grassy and fertile pan with endless horizons and beautiful skies, is raised off the ground to catch the breeze and take in sweeping views across the Kalahari by day and star-filled skies by night. Solar power provides electricity and hot water, and innovative insulated canvas walls and roof keep the temperatures inside
comfortable. The lounge and dining area, also raised, are perfect for watching wildlife in front of camp.
This camp consists of ten luxury canvas tented rooms. It can accommodate up to 20 guests and 4 children. The canvas tented rooms are raised off the ground with walkways on sand. Being located in the desert, the canvas and roofs have been specially insulated to keep out most of the heat during the day and the cold during the night. During the winter extra blankets and hot water bottles are provided. There is a roof top veranda for sleep outs (weather permitting) for you to enjoy the night skies.
Head out in a 4x4 to follow the seasonal movements of the wildlife for the day, with the chance to spot the Big Five.
Follow the San Bushmen for an interpretive walk, as they teach you the cultural significance of their dress and way of life.
Sleep out under the stars on Kalahari Plains Camp's comfortable star bed, falling asleep to the gentle nighttime sounds of the African bush.
Learn about the astronomy and constellations of the southern hemisphere as you look out into the Kalahari's clear starry night skies.

We had the most amazing time! John Barclay and his team were very special and the mobile safari exclusive and superb. Moremi was very quiet with few other tourists – no more than a dozen other vehicles seen in four days. Macatoo was also excellent with good riding and game. We were so grateful for the help that you offered when our BA flights went wrong. Many thanks again for the superb service and recommendations which made for a great holiday.
