"We didn’t think it was possible our third camp could match the experience of the first two, but Camp Kalahari was maybe our favorite. Every day was an incredible new experience."

"We thought the lodge itself was fine. A close encounter with an elephant outside our tent led to a frisson of excitement. Our stay at this lodge was chalk and cheese. On the negative side we thought our schedule was chopped and changed to meet the requirement of the lodge and guide, rather than with any consideration of what we wanted to do. Due to this we had to do the meerkat trip twice-once is OK, twice is underwhelming. We have commented on the driving above. On the basis of this we would have rated it as average/poor. The one thing that led to the excellent rating is the quad biking experience on the pans (we are sworn to secrecy!) One thing on the quad biking, some people seemed concerned about was insurance-it never crossed our minds. "

"Very friendly place/staff. A real family atmosphere. They could not do enough for you. Bart our guide was amazing. He loved the place and it showed with outstanding knowledge of animals, plants and birds. He took us out at every chance and we loved the night drives and the fact there were so few other vehicles around. Our morning with the habituated meerkats was fun and informative. As it was my husband's 60th coming up, on our last night they set a table up for us by the plunge pool with bubbly and candles. Although you did not have a choice at lunch/dinner, the food was excellent and our 'tent' on stilts was pretty new and set away from the others so you did not feel crowded at all. We were sorry to only have 2 nights there."

"Just astonishing facilities in the middle of nowhere! Great staff, amazing food, superb tents with 'the hottest wettest showers in the Kalahari' - probably true! Hosts Fabio and then Kat happy to take time to chat and listen to any concerns we had (none)."

"Our tent and bathroom got very hot during the day, some loungers outside the tent would be nice. The food was not up to standard but I believe this is in hand. The night spent on the salt pans was a highlight of the entire holiday, it was wonderful."

"Set miles from anywhere this is a camp styled around the 1940's period with good solid furniture and an ambience to match."
