"camp kalahari"
if meerkats are the reason to go then this is a must with 2 virtually habituated troops giving some fantastic interactions
brown hyena are no longer resident & other game at this time was thin on the ground (although we did spot a caracal)
biggest bug bear is the incessant mosquitoes which were ravenous and numerous(cover up)
the staff were friendly & not overbearing with acouple of nice surprises. accomdation is adequate" See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia
"Amazing Camp Kalahari"
The setting in the pans is magical and you truly feel in another world. It was a fabulous contract to the Delta camps and having it last was for me the right order.
I enjoyed the activities, especially a morning spent with a colony of meercats and an outing with five bushmen.
Once again food and service were excellent but perhaps not as friendly as at the other two, there was less of a house party feel, but that may just be because I was the only guest." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana
"Meerkat Heaven"
The weather was terrible - windy & cold but we still had a terrific time. I did not expect the meerkat experience to be so enchanting and our guide Shabba? was really very informative and a pleasure to be with.
The game, as we expected was not all around us but to see this type of habitat with the meerkats makes this, for us an essential add on to any trip to Botswana." See all these reviews: 13n in Botswana
"Great camp with excellent guides"
The meerkats are a must see as well. The camp is a bit more rustic but well tended and great food.
The best part was the camp staff and guides. All were excellent" See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
"Magic moments with meercats"
The tent accommodation was fine and the position of the camp was fairly ideal.
The time spent with the meercats will long live in the memory while coming across the aardwoff on a night drive was a very welcome bonus.
Going to the area in February had the bonus of seeing thousands of zebra on what is said to be the second biggest migration in Africa but it did mean you could not go on the salt pans themselves and had to skirt around them (no quad bikes excusions)." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana
"Private Camp in Kalahari"
A warm thank you to Masego (manager) and Ndabona (the guide and driver) and all people that took care of us - it was like our "private camp" for the duration of our stay." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana
