Kalahari Tented Camp
Kalahari Tented Camp (KTC) is an unfenced camp on top of a huge red sand dune that overlooks the dry Auob Riverbed, it is only 3 km from Mata Mata camp making it an close stop for refueling and stocking up on basic supplies from their shop.
Accommodation
Kalahari Tented Camp boasts 15 desert tents; 1 luxury honeymoon desert tent, 4 family desert tents (two beds and a stack bed), 10 two bed desert tents (Two of the units have been made accessible to visitors with mobility impairment)
the tents all have their own enclosed carport.....
The Desert tents are elegantly decorated with rustic finishes like wood, sandbags and canvas.
Each tent has a large bedroom with chairs side tables, bedside lamps and ceiling fan.......
a large en suite bathroom, with shower, bath, hand basin and toilet......
All fifteen tents have a view of the waterhole but some have a better view than others, especially the ones in the middle as they are closer to the waterhole....
We normally stay in tent number one (the honeymoon tent) as it is on the far end facing the open dunes and the Auob riverbed. This is the ideal tent if you want to photograph star-trails as it has no lights in front of it and it faces south.
Food and Drink
each tent has a seperate kitchen, which is equipped with cutlery, crockery, fridge, gas hot plate, table and chairs and gas for hot water and solar power for lights.........
the small courtyard has the braai area........
