“Here, the Kalahari truly comes to you and you are embraced by silence. This is: emptiness, life, and the most bizarre starry sky ever.”

On the edge of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, nestled in its own private area, lies Dinaka Camp. This intimate tented lodge by Ker & Downey feels like a quiet encounter with the primal wilderness. Dinaka Camp is a place where space, nature, and style meet. Or in three words: pure, authentic, and unspoiled.

Casual chic, with an eye for detail
Camp Dinaka features seven spacious suites and one family suite with two bedrooms. Each tent is built on a wooden platform, with a veranda overlooking a permanent watering hole for wildlife. You’ll enjoy luxurious outdoor and indoor showers, soft linen fabrics, warm lighting, and a nod to the explorer charm of yesteryear. Bet your stay here will be unforgettable?!

Safari according to the rules of the wilderness
You’ll find Dinaka Camp in an area where the landscape transforms from dry grass to green oases after the rain. Wild dogs, leopards, black-maned lions, and cheetahs share the stage with springbok, oryx, and hyenas. Due to its location in a private area, there are no other vehicles: your game drives therefore truly feel personal, unique, and pure.

Safaris with breathing space
Of course, at Dinaka Camp you’ll completely unwind and have a wonderful night’s sleep. But there’s also so much adventure to experience. How about:

• Game drives (morning & evening)
• Bushwalks with San bushman guide, including traditional knowledge
• Birdwatching from the camp or during game drives
• Night safaris where the bush reveals its secrets
• Overnight stays on the Sleep-Out Deck under the stars
• Photo spots with views of drinking animals at the water

Simplicity that lingers
At Dinaka Camp, we don’t care for pretentious nonsense, but we do value genuine warmth. Here, you will spend lovely hours on your veranda with a view, enjoy quiet moments at the photo hideout, and relax with a good book or a delightful cup of coffee. Dining by the fire, shared with others, is the luxury here without unnecessary bells and whistles.
