Dinaka Camp

Central Kalahari private concession, Botswana

A design-forward camp on a private Kalahari concession, built around genuinely personal Bushmen-guided walking safaris.

Overview

Dinaka Camp sits on a private concession bordering the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a smaller, design-conscious property built specifically around walking safaris guided by San Bushmen trackers, offering an experience distinct from vehicle-based game drives elsewhere in Botswana.

Rooms & Table

The Rooms

A small number of architecturally distinctive tented suites set among Kalahari scrubland, finished in a warm, contemporary style.

Food & Service

A strong, intimate dining programme reflecting the camp’s small guest capacity and personal style of hospitality.

Activities

Walking safaris led by San Bushmen guides, traditional bush-skills demonstrations, and game drives across the surrounding private concession.

Wildlife & Photography

The concession’s Kalahari scrubland supports gemsbok, springbok, and the black-maned lion found throughout the wider Central Kalahari ecosystem.

A Photographer's Note

Walking safaris with Bushmen trackers here offer close, ground-level access to tracks, plants and small wildlife rarely captured from a vehicle.

Conservation & Impact

Dinaka’s model directly supports San Bushmen employment and cultural knowledge-sharing, a deliberate and increasingly rare focus in Kalahari tourism.
