Pronounced ‘kaus’, the lodge is a place to experience a unique desert environment, providing accommodation in the heart of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park for eco-tourists and visitors to the Kalahari. The Karoo is defined by succulent-dominated vegetation and more rugged relief, whereas the Kalahari is largely a sand-covered plain with a distinct dry, savanna-like landscape.
The beautiful Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is a conservation area extending across the South African, Botswanan border, measuring over 3.5 million hectares, almost twice the size of the Kruger National Park. The Kgalagadi offers stunning scenery, excellent birding and an overpowering silence under the clear night sky.
This eco-lodge is owned by the local Khomani San and Mier communities, and commercially well managed. The comfortable en suite chalets are along the edge of a pan with some water in the centre, so guests can watch animals drinking. Highlights of the lodge include a cosy lounge with a fireplace, a large observation deck perfect for stargazing, a refreshing dipping pool and a heart- warming fire in the boma, perfect for enjoying the beauty of the night sky.
Twin bedded or double chalets are available with king sized beds. Rates include: Full board (all meals excl. beverages) from dinner on the day of arrival to breakfast on the day of departure, game drives, wilderness walks (For their safety, not children under the age of 12) with local Khomani San trackers, a visit to the craft village to meet local crafters and return transfer to Kamqua picnic site.
SanPark fees are excluded from rates.
