Activities at San Camp
Fallen Baobab
Visit the site of the Fallen Baobab - one of three of the largest and oldest trees in Africa.
Game Drives
Take game drives and night drives in custombuilt 4x4s to spot the unique desert wildlife
that inhabit the pans, like the elusive brown hyena or Kalahari lion. Your experienced
safari guide will help you discover a desert landscape, pulsating with life. Complete with bush picnics, morning coffees and chilled drinks.
Meet the Meerkats
Get up close and personal with our habituated meerkats, the cool cats of the Kalahari! Hanging
out with them at their burrow is a once-in-alifetime experience. As they dig and play around you, your head could become the perfect lookout point and part of the fun and games. This is where you’ll truly feel like one of the gang.
San Camp Bushmen Walk
Discover the secrets of the pans with the Zu/’hoasi Bushmen on a fascinating bush walk.
See this ancient desert landscape through their eyes. These skilled hunter gatherers will show you how to survive, using their extraordinary tracking skills to uncover a smorgasbord of culinary delights... from bulbs, to scorpions, to berries. Spending time with them is a very rare privilege.
San Camp Horse Riding (At an additional cost)
Saddle up to explore this wild, unspoilt area in the same way many of the earliest explorers, hunters
and missionaries did – on horseback! You’ll embark on an adventurous outride (for all level riders). This
is an exhilarating way to spot wildlife, cantering along the crusty salt flats and following the animal
highways that bring life to the Makgadikgadi Pans.
San Camp Quad Biking
This is pure desert adventure! Take an exhilarating quad bike across the salt-crusted pans
(all pan activity is weather permitting). You’ll feel total freedom as you trek across this vast and ancient landscape, discovering so much about the remnants of this once super lake. Weather Permitting.
Scenic Helicopter Flights (At an additional cost)
This really is an unforgettable experience. Enjoy a helicopter flight over the Makgadikgadi Pans, doors off (or on), to take in the vastness of this desert landscape. You’ll go in search of the zebra and flamingo migrations (if timed correctly), get dropped on an island of baobabs for lunch, do a bit of sunset sky surfing as you follow the palm tree linings and tell all your friends about it all when you get home.
At an additional cost.
Zebra & Wildebeest Migration
Witness the second largest migration in Africa. A stonking spectacle of black and white stripes
as approximately 30,000 zebra and wildebeest migrate across the Makgadikgadi Pans, followed closely by stalking predators, waiting for the rich pickings of tired hooves. This is a wildlife explosion and an experience not to be missed! (seasonal)
