Information
Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge is situated on a 4,000 hectare private game reserve not far from the small town of Kalkrand. The nature reserve and lodge is unique in that it consists of 2 very different types of deserts. The Kalahari’s infinite red dunes and green valleys on one hand is contrasted by the great Karoo with grass steppes and scattered water banks.
Rooms
Enjoy the Kalahari desert from one of twelve individual guest houses. Carrying the names of the largest wild animal species of the reservation, the stilted guest houses are arranged around a Vlei, a natural dry lake.
All walking paths from the guest houses to the main building are paved, barrier-free, and well-lit. Exterior walls made from canvas and the traditional African thatched roofs guarantee an excellent indoor climate even with high outside temperatures. All bathrooms are built as solid construction. The living space of each guest house varies from 50 to 60 sqm.
