South Africa Luxury Plainsgame and More

This rare, South African gem, stretches over 212,000 acres in the Northern Cape Province of this diverse country. The reserve is situated within the Kalahari Desert which is an ancient, arid biome expanding north of the Gariep River to as far north as southern Angola and stretching from the coast in the west to mid- way through the southern sub continent. The sand dunes, shaped over centuries by the prevailing winds, create shallow valleys pro- viding refuge for the denizens of this arid environment. Every- thing here has adapted. The dominant vegetation, grasses, thorny shrubs and Acacia trees, can survive long drought periods of more than ten months every year. Amidst this beautiful desert environment lies a hidden oasis for the most discerning visitor.

The name of the desert, Kalahari, means “large thirst” in Tswa- na language. However, in contrast to this, the reserve will insure that its private lodges are every guest’s oasis and place of relaxation. The 5-star main lodge boasts with four double en-suite rooms overlooking the beautiful landscape. Each room is equipped with aircon, fireplace, shower and bath as well as its own private veranda from where one can stare into the distance of the vast landscape that surrounds one. The lodge is further finished with a bar, kitchen, dining and lounge area that opens up to the private swimming pool. The in-house chef prepares delicious traditional three course meals that are complimented by either a local refreshing white wine or a well-rounded red wine. Special desert sun- downers in the dunes are furthermore a great specialty offered by our friendly staff. This is truly a place to relax, reflect and restore one’s wellness.

This is home to numerous indigenous mammals, reptiles, birds and insects. All these together create a very unique desert habitat and we actively strive to preserve this ecosystem for future generations. The Kalahari is regarded as a semi-desert and supports more animals and plants than a true desert. 62 recorded mammal species, including four of the Big Five can be found roaming the reserve’s landscape. Other mammal species that also share this habitat are meerkats, springbuck, oryx, eland, nyala, zebra, wildebeest and impala to name just a few. This special reserve is to many the Eden of the desert and with such a magnificent spread of wildlife it is difficult not to believe the same. The hunting is simply phenomenal concentrating on old trophy animals.

We are proud to have the best managers and skilled staff on board that not only help to steer the reserve to great success but also to contribute passionately to the sustainability of this natural environment. The knowledgeable team devotes their time and effort into conserving the Kalahari’s indigenous fauna and flora, making the reserve an important conservational role player in Southern Africa. We have invested in various wildlife projects including the reintroduction and protection of wild Kalahari lions and Desert black rhino, of which we are very proud. Our team works closely with provincial and national conservational bodies, vets, wildlife researchers and private reserves to conserve these very special subspecies for future generations.

If you want to experience a very unique hunt for quality animals on a most special piece of ground with luxury accommodations, this is the trip for you.
