Suricate Kalahari Tented Camp
Kalahari - southern Namibia
Suricate Tented Kalahari Lodge is situated in the Intu Afrika Kalahari Private Game Reserve. It is in 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 expanse of the reserve is characterized by lofty ancient parallel red dunes sparsely covered by unique vegetation. The lodge itself is set on a red sand dune, overlooking a pan system.
There is a restaurant, lounge and pool and bar. Both the cozy African-style lounge that overlooks the vast grassy pans of the Auob river, and the pool deck, are perfect settings for guests to enjoy their drinks and meals. Alternately, wine and dine in the outdoor boma that looks out onto the vast grassy pans of the Auob River.
Accommodation comprises of 11 luxury and 1 honeymoon walk-in-style tents, well secluded in the Kalahari Savannah. Each spacious tent has twin beds, mosquito netting, a mini-bar, and a safe. There is a private deck and an intimate open air bathroom, with hot and cold running water, flush toilet and shower.
Guests can explore the Kalahari in open 4x4 vehicles, partake in a dune sundowner, and join guided walks with bushman trackers/trained guides. There are opportunities to walk with Kalahari Bushman trackers, to discover their desert survival techniques. Many guests are captivated by the history of the ancient San people and thoroughly enjoy exploring the Kalahari in open 4x4 vehicles. This area also offers guests the opportunity to learn about a predator re-introduction programme.

Bagatelle Kalahari Lodge
Excellent lodge in the Kalahari Desert, offers accommodation in units made of straw bales or wood. Bagatelle proves to be consistently popular with guests
Hardap Dam Resort
Really only suitable for fisherman - until renovations happen it is probably best not to subject yourself to this.
Kalahari Anib Lodge
Tends to cater for larger groups, but the low rates make it attractive for those looking to save some money.
Suricate Kalahari Tented Camp
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.
Zebra Kalahari Lodge
The third lodge on the Intu Afrika Kalahari Game Reserve (along with Suricate & Camethorn Lodges). The Kalahari is absolutely magnificent and really should be a part of any visit to Namibia.
