Dinaka Camp, Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana
A Luxury Tented Camp in Botswana
Camp Details
A 40 000 hectare (100 000 acre) exclusive private Game Reserve on the northern boundary of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Dinaka is home to an extraordinary diversity of desert adapted wildlife, in the heart of the Kalahari Desert, a 60-million-year-old biome. This ever-changing thirstland gives refuge to the Black-maned Kalahari Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Brown Hyena, Honey Badger, Cape Fox, Porcupine, Oryx and Springbok, just to name a few. A destination known for its high-density desert wildlife sightings, observed frequently within the reserve and who come to slake their thirst at the network of pans and waterholes has established Dinaka as the premier desert wildlife experience to complement the savanna-oriented wildlife of the Okavango Delta.
WHY CHOOSE DINAKA CAMP?
- The annual rains transform the arid desert landscape into a lush profusion of Kalahari vegetation, offering guests a unique insight into the lesser known desert experience.
- The Sleep Out Deck offers guests a panoramic view and the opportunity to spend the night under the magnificent African night sky.
- Birding is particularly spectacular as Dinaka hosts over 200 different bird species including the Kori Bustard and Crimson Breasted Shrike and a high concentration of Pale Chanting Goshawks.
Questions about Dinaka
How is the photography set up here?
Around water. Year-round water holes draw animals in, and you can photograph them from an underground bunker, from a hide or from the vehicle, which gives you three quite different angles on the same sighting. Day and night game drives both run from the camp.
Can we spend time with the San?
Yes, the reserve offers an educational walk with San Bushmen alongside the driving activities. It is one of the things that sets a Kalahari stay apart from a Delta one, and guests often rate it as highly as the game viewing.
What wildlife is the Kalahari good for?
A different cast from the Delta. Dinaka, meaning horns, is a private reserve on the northern boundary of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, with giraffe and a range of antelope, smaller mammals such as honey badger, bat-eared fox and porcupine, and predators including Kalahari lion, cheetah, leopard and brown hyena. Rates start from US$735 per person per night.
