In the red dune country of the Northern Cape, our Kalahari concession offers wide-open, malaria-free hunting across some of the most striking terrain in southern Africa. Endless horizons, classic spot-and-stalk, and game that has learned to thrive where it looks as though nothing should.
The lodge sits among camel
thorn at the foot of the dunes, built from stone and thatch in a style that belongs to this landscape rather than fighting it. Rooms are en-suite and generously sized, each opening onto a view that runs uninterrupted to the horizon. There is a pool for the heat of the day and a fireplace for the surprising cold of a desert night. Meals lean on Kalahari lamb and game from the reserve, served long and unhurried. Sundowners on the red sand, as the dunes turn to fire, are the part guests describe first. Accommodates up to [X] guests.
Gemsbok are the signature animal here — Kalahari bulls carry length that is hard to match anywhere else, and hunting them across open dune country is as honest as African hunting gets. Springbok run in real numbers, including all four colour variants. Kudu, eland, red hartebeest, blue and black wildebeest, steenbok and duiker round out the plains game, with sable, roan and nyala also on the reserve. Dangerous game is available by arrangement. Spot and stalk, on foot, across [X] acres.
Everything you need and nothing that jars. A swimming pool overlooking the dunes, a comfortable bar and lounge, daily laundry and housekeeping, and Wi-Fi throughout the lodge. The Kalahari night sky is among the clearest on the planet, and most guests find the evening stargazing takes care of any entertainment we might otherwise have offered.
There is far more here than the hunt. Dune drives and desert sundowners run most evenings, and photographic opportunities are exceptional in the low Kalahari light. Augrabies Falls and the Orange River wine route are within c
omfortable reach, and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park makes a memorable day out for those with the time.
The Kalahari gets under a hunter’s skin. It is open, uncluttered, malaria-free and utterly unlike anywhere else we hunt — a place of long stalks, longer views, and red sand that stays with you well after you have gone home. Come and see why our guests keep returning.
