Central Kalahari Game Reserve Camping

Experience the “peace” in the Kalahari Desert for yourself. Via Selfdrive4x4.com you can make a journey through the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. For example, you go camping on secluded camping spots in the middle of the bush! No amenities. There is a simple long drop toilet and you can fill a bush shower with water yourself. But because there is also no tap, it is better to save water. And so postpone the shower for a while!

The campsites in the Kalahari are surrounded by nature and are not fenced. It is no exception that animals come to the camp. You will not be the first to spot a hyena or lion from the camping site, for example. The jackal is usually also a regular guest who comes to check out your camping pitch. Perhaps there is something edible to be found!

Geckos in the Kalahari

The night in the Kalahari is ushered in by the thousands of crickets with their high-pitched chirping. The “barking gecko” is also making itself heard. If you are small but still with a lot, it is possible to produce a lot of noise. It will not be quiet during the night. And when the jackals answer each other howling, the concert is even bigger. Or finally the lions roar in the early morning.

But the nights in the Kalahari Desert are the best you can experience during your Botswana trip. With Selfdrive4x4.com you can choose from various Botswana trips that traverse this area. An unforgivable experience and well worth it.

When to camp in the Kalahari?

The best time to visit the Kalahari is the green season (approx. December to March) and the following months, April, May and June. The nights do get cold in June and after August it gets very arid and dry. September and October are the hottest months.
