Just 5km from the Park’s entrance, the Lodge is a luxurious, one-stop destination in the Kalahari that allows photographers the opportunity as a base charge and clean equipment, review, edit and upload and share images in real time. Whether that is between daily game drives or at the end of the day. It is the only destination including the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park where good food can be enjoyed and freedom to walk , run or cycle in or around the dunes.
