Gharagab
Gharagab Wilderness Camp is located in the far northern region of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park, 164 km (four hours) drive north of Nossob on the road to Unions End.
The road in and out of Gharagab is a one-way loop, only accessible by 4x4 vehicles and is open to Gharagab residents only....
The nearest shop is at Nossob, where guests who have booked at Gharagab also checks in. Make sure you take enough food, water and firewood with you, because the water is very salty, even for cooking, so please remember to bring plenty of water for both drinking and cooking......
The camp is an unfenced but there is a Tourism Assistant is on duty at all times....
The camp provides guests with elevated views of Kalahari thornveld savannah and waterhole.....
Accommodation
The four dune cabins are beautifully laid out, they are made from a combination of wooden poles and canvas and like the other wilderness camps are well-equipped.....
the cabins each contain 2 single beds, an en suite bathroom with a shower, toilet and wash hand basin at the back of the cabin......
each cabin has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas fridge-freezer, cutlery, crockery and
cooking utensils, solar-powered lights, gas for hot water,
and braai facilities on the deck....
because the cabins are on stilts, they have unspoilt views overlooking the basin with a watering hole and its non-stop activity, day and night......
Please see in the above picture; it is advisable to put a grass net on the front of your vehicle to protect your vehicle from the grass seeds....
The cabins can see the sun rise and there is a viewing platform at the back of Gharagab camp where you can climb up to see the setting sun – this must be the second-most panoramic view in the whole Kgalagadi Park, behind only KielieKrankie camp.
Our camera gear is all set up and ready for action....

Activities
The waterhole is the second closest to the cabins so it makes an ideal base for photographers. Our estimate places the waterhole about 70 meters from the cabins.....
We were blessed with great sightings by day and night of lions, gemsbok, jackal, steenbok and owls....
The male walked right through our camp after drinking at the waterhole and the pride kept watch over us throughout the night; all very exciting for the many guest in camp that night!
