3 Day Desert Trail: Central Kalahari Game Reserve - WildCamping Safari

One word: wow. From the minute we enquired to the minute we got home we had an incredible experience with Kalahari Breeze. This was a reasonably last minute decision with a friend and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. Maria couldn’t have done enough to help with the organisation, and it was a joy that she decided to come along for the trip too. Not only did we have some amazing sightings of animals, they also came at no cost to the animal. Maria and our amazing guide & driver Clifford ensured that at all times we gave the animals space and respect, which actually led to more meaningful sightings. Cliff was so knowledgable of the animals and the landscape and I learned so much from him. He was also an incredible driver! The camp team of OG, Machana and Craig were so welcoming and we felt so well looked after and almost pampered which I wasn’t expecting in a camp in the middle of the bush! The food was delicious and varied, they catered for dietary requirements and everything was served with fun and a smile. For those who are hesitant of camping, this would honestly be a really good first step into being more adventurous, as everything is thought of and it’s a good mix of being in the middle of no where but with some creature comforts! At all times the team made us feel safe, supported and cared for. I can’t wait to come back to Botswana and book onto another tour with Kalahari Breeze.

If you want to see a different side of Botswana's landscape, this is the place to be. The Kalahari is absolutely stunning and having a good guide with you makes it even better. Not only the guide is excellent, but also the cook. After an exciting day with all kinds of animal sightings, they have a three-course meal in the evening, which I never expected to have on a camping trip. Afterwards, you sit together around the campfire and the guide tells you something about the stars. The service in general was amazing! To keep the guests warm they even provide besides blankets, hot water bottles for the game drives and for the night (It can get quite cold in the Kalahari). Highly recommended!
