Kalahari Plains Camp sits on the open grasslands of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, a Wilderness property built specifically to showcase the reserve’s genuine desert wilderness character, a world apart from the water-based landscapes of the Okavango Delta.
Elevated tented rooms with wide desert views, each with a private veranda, furnished in Wilderness’s characteristic understated, contemporary style.
A strong seasonal dining programme served with open desert views, consistent with Wilderness’s broader portfolio standards.
Game drives and night drives across the reserve’s grasslands and pans, walks with San Bushmen guides, and Kalahari-specific stargazing.
The reserve’s semi-arid grasslands support black-maned lion, cheetah, and large herds of gemsbok and springbok adapted to the Kalahari’s extreme conditions.
The Central Kalahari’s clear, dry air and minimal light pollution make it one of the better locations in the Wilderness portfolio for astrophotography alongside daytime game viewing.
Wilderness’s Kalahari Plains operation supports San Bushmen community employment and lion research across one of Africa’s largest protected desert ecosystems.
