"Kalahari Tented Camp review"
Also have some amazing leopard sighings and also cheetah." See all these reviews: 14n in South Africa
"Wonderfull wilderness Camp with a view"
Super view to the riverbed from terrasse. See animals come and go.
The "tents" (huts) seems quite safe. All kitchen equipment present - only bring food and drinks (og buy at Mata Mata 3 km away).
You can easily use 3 days here enjoying the view, reading a good book ect." See all these reviews: 10n in South Africa
"Tented Camp - self-catering - perfect"
Accommodation was perfect.
The campsite is not fenced, so game do wander close by - Wildebeest in particular seem to like coming up from the valley. The view over the dry river bed is extraordinary - waking up, looking out of the window and seeing giraffe at the waterhole was memorable.
There is a small swimming pool but no other facilities. And so what? You're there for the game and the experience, not to sit by the pool.....
If I had two small suggestions for improvement, they would be : (1) a box of matches would be nice (2) the waterhole is floodlit at night, but with what appear to be a 20w bulb. A better light (on a timer to keep night-time black) might make just-after-dusk viewing better" See all these reviews: 13n in South Africa

We spent a very pleasant time here going for game drives during the mornings and utilising the small communal swimming pool in the afternoons.

"AMAZING experience at Kalahari Tented Camp"
It was very cold at night and in the mornings but we were prepared for that. Having hot water was a blessing. Cooking at camp was easy with the well equipped kitchen. Staff was very helpful and efficient. Seeing and hearing the animals at such close range is an experience that I will never forget." See all these reviews: 5n in South Africa
"Great Self-Catering Option in the Kalahari"
The tents are very comfortable and clean. The separate kitchen area can be a lot of fun if you come prepared (we were not as prepared). It is very convenient that they provide you with pans, dishes, utensils and the basics for cooking. There is even an area where you can barbecue.
There is a small grocery store in Mata Mata with some basic food, mostly canned. Great value!" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 8n in South Africa
