Camelthorn Kalahari Lodge

Accommodation in Southern Namibia

Camelthorn Kalahari Lodge is situated north of Mariental on The Intu Afrika Kalahari Private Game Reserve. The reserve is a 10,000ha wildlife sanctuary, located in the south-western region of the Kalahari Desert along the upper reaches of the Auob river system of Namibia. The lodge is set in a secluded valley between two red Kalahari dunes, and nestled amongst camelthorn trees.

The ambiance of this lodge is distinctly Bushman, enhanced with indigenous decor and home to a fine collection of San artifacts, one of the oldest cultures in the world.

Camelthorn Lodge consists of a thatched main building, outdoor dining area, bar and a boma overlooking a natural stone pool. There are 12 double en-suite chalets, all with air-conditioning and viewing decks. Hair dryers and a laundry service are also available.

This area offers guests the opportunity learn about a predator re-introduction programme, the Kalahari Lion Project. An opportunity to take a walk in the Kalahari with a bushman tracker to discover their desert survival techniques, and to learn some of the history of the ancient San people, is also a possibility. Guests can explore the Kalahari in open 4x4 vehicles.

Camelthorn Lodge is child friendly and there is a nearby landing strip, with transfers to and from the lodge for their guests.

The meerkat or suricate is a small mammal which inhabits the Kalahari - we do not know why this lodge is named after them. Perhaps if you stay here and find out you can tell us and then we can make this slightly more descriptive.
