Activities at San Camp

Visit the site of the Fallen Baobab - one of three of the largest and oldest trees in Africa.
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.
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 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.
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!
