Camelthorn Kalahari Lodge – Leading Lodges of Africa

                                                                                                          11 Chalets
The Kalahari Desert in Namibia or Dorsland in Afrikaans is the second largest desert in Namibia after the Namib. The Kalahari is not a true desert as it supports a number of plants and animals, thus making it ideal for game drives and safaris.

Camelthorn Kalahari Lodge is set in a secluded valley between two red sand dunes and hidden amongst ancient camel-thorn trees.

  

  

  

  

  

Accommodation and Facilities
Each air-conditioned chalet has an en-suite bathroom including all the modern conveniences, offering a comfortable getaway from the desert heat. The Lodge consists of a thatched main building, dining area and a boma overlooking a natural stone pool, where you can relax in the shade of a large Camel-thorn tree.

Activities                                                                                                                                                                            The Intu Afrika Kalahari Private Game Reserve is a 10 000 ha wildlife sanctuary located in the south-western region of the Kalahari, along the upper reaches of the Auob river system of Namibia. The expanse of the reserve is characterized by lofty ancient parallel red dunes sparsely covered by unique vegetation.

Grassy plains peppered with centuries old camel-thorn trees commonly known as “dune streets” or valleys, separate the dunes providing refuge for diverse animal and bird life indigenous to the Kalahari.
Guests can explore the Kalahari in open 4 x 4 vehicles and take guided walks with Bushman trackers and trained guides.
Be seduced by the charms of an alluring landscape; get up close to lion, giraffe, zebra and other smaller desert animals and birdlife.

Learn about the predator re-introduction programme or take a walk in the Kalahari with a bushman tracker and learn his desert survival secrets and hear the history of the ancient San people.
Seize the opportunity of a sunrise or sunset walk through the rolling red sand dunes, led by a Bushman tracker.

To cool off guests can relax around the pool or in the refined lounge overlooking the waterhole.
The stark splendour of this Kalahari thirst-land will find a special place in your heart.

Boulders Safari Camp – Classic Safari Camps of Africa

Exclusive Camp, 4 Tents
Situated 45 kilometres south of Wolwedans, deep in the south of the Namib Desert and hugged by massive granite rocks, Boulders provides the ultimate desert experience – solitude perfected. Opened only in August 2007, Boulders offers a very different environment contrasting beautifully with the dune environment.

An interesting point to mention is that all of the chalets and tents at Wolwedans are designed in such a way that they can be dismantled easily, and within six months the nature it resided on will restore itself and there will be no trace that the camp ever existed. This underlies the Camp's ethos regards setting an example in responsible tourism, empowering its employees and its commitment to the conservation of the NamibRand Nature Reserve.

Accommodation and Activities
Sleeping a maximum of eight guests in four spacious tents, Boulders is undoubtedly the most exclusive camp at Wolwedans.
The main area sports a dining and lounge tent, a breakfast deck and an open fire place. Close by is an awesome sundowner spot overlooking the vast beauty of the reserve.

Boulders calls for a two night stay and is ideally booked in combination with one or two nights at any of the other camps in the dunes, which makes for the ultimate desert experience.

Activities
From Boulders Camp you will explore the deep south of Namib RandNature Reserve. Guided scenic drives, or two to three hour walking safaris treading along the ancient hunting grounds of the Bushmen, will happily fill your days.
The main living area sports a dining and lounge tent, a breakfast deck and an open fire place.
Close by is an awesome sun-downer spot overlooking the vast beauty of the
NamibRand Nature Reserve.
