Game Drives at San Camp

Take game drives and night drives in custom

built 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.

1 of 1

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.

1 of 1

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.

1 of 1

San Camp Horse Safaris

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.

At an additional cost.

1 of 1

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.

Scenic Helicopter Flights

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!
