IImmerse Yourself in the Science of Kalahari Conservation

The Kalahari is more than just a desert. The word “Kalahari” stirs visions of vast landscapes, rolling dunes, relentless sun, and survival against the odds. It’s a place of both harshness and remarkable resilience. Often dubbed one of Africa’s last wildernesses, the Kalahari Desert sprawls across almost 930,000 square kilometers (359,000 sq. mi.), stretching into Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. While known for its aridity, this semi-desert also surprises with seasonal rainfall supporting surprising biodiversity. Its deep sands create a land of extremes, demanding innovative survival strategies from both plants and animals.

On the southeastern border of this legendary expanse lies Khamab Kalahari Reserve, the largest private Big-5 reserve in South Africa. This groundbreaking 96,400-hectare project, established in 2007, has a bold ambition: become a leading conservation area in Africa, safeguarding ecosystems and the extraordinary species that call it home.

Your Conservation Oasis in the Kalahari

Experience the wild heart of the Kalahari without sacrificing comfort in our intimate tented lodge. Imagine stepping directly from your tent onto prime game viewing territory, and as night falls, marveling at Africa’s breathtaking starscape unpolluted by city lights.  Our camp consists of just five two-sleeper tents, each with a private en-suite bathroom, offering privacy within this majestic landscape. Relax in our airy lounge tent, savor delicious meals under the stars in our traditional boma, and unwind with fellow conservationists after a day’s adventures. We provide essential modern amenities like Wi-Fi, hot water, and purified drinking water for your comfort.
