With the camp located within a private concession, you have the unique opportunity to participate in night safari drives and experience the nocturnal activities of the Okavango Delta’s wildlife, ensuring a truly distinctive safari experience.

After your final morning game drive and breakfast, you will be transported to the airstrip for your flight to the Tsigaro airstrip. Upon arrival, a transfer will take you to Camp Kalahari for a three-day stay.

Camp Kalahari is the relaxed and budget-friendly counterpart to Jack’s and San Camp, situated in the heart of the vast Kalahari.

It offers 12 quirky Meru tents that cater excellently to families, groups, and couples, making it a fantastic starting point for exploring the enchanting desert and the mystical Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.

The communal spaces at Camp Kalahari feature a central library alongside a living and dining area adorned with a vibrant collection of original African furnishings and colonial-era antiques. Meals are served family-style, focusing on simplicity and flavor, around a communal long table. A thatched swimming pool offers a cool respite on warm afternoons, and it’s not uncommon for elephants to visit for a drink. The camp maintains a rustic charm with minimal electricity, using electrical lighting in the bedrooms and romantic paraffin lanterns throughout the camp at night.

Engage in intimate encounters with the camp’s habituated meerkats or join the Zu/’hoasi Bushmen for enlightening desert bush walks. Explore the unique desert wildlife on game drives and night drives in specially designed 4×4 vehicles. For the adventurous, a two-hour horseback safari or multi-day riding excursions for experienced riders are available. Alternatively, embark on a radical quad bike journey across the salt-crusted expanse to Kubu Island. As the day ends, lie back on the salt pans under a sky bursting with stars, or witness the second largest, and one of the last remaining, migrations of zebra and wildebeest in Southern Africa.

Following your final morning safari excursion and breakfast, you will be transferred to the airstrip for your flight back to Maun, from where you will connect to your onward journey home.

This marks the conclusion of your unforgettable journey through Botswana, a safari adventure that has taken you from the wildlife-rich savannas of Savuti to the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta and the stark beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pans.
