Camelthorn Kalahari Lodge

We arrived at the Camelthorn Kalahari Lodge at around 18h00 the evening of the 16 January. We were greeted by one of the friendly Staff Members with a drink and refreshing cold face cloth. After check in we were shown our room. Sebastian, if I remember correctly helped us with our luggage. We had a spectacular view over the Dunes with the Camelthorn Trees. After a refreshing swim, it was time for Dinner. Dinner was served under the Stars.We enjoyed the complementary Bottle of Champagne with our meal whilst enjoying the view of the sky above. The 4 brightest Planets all visible at the same time, enjoying the beautiful evening weather. After a good night's sleep, we started our day with a refreshing swim an a hearty Breakfast upstairs in the Boma. On our way out, we were greeted by a couple of Giraffes that were leisurely grazing along the Edges of the Pan in the Reserve. Namibia has so many hidden Gems. We will certainly be back.

Our guide picked us up in Windhoek and we drove down to the Camelthorne lodge our first day. They had a lovely garden around a swimming pool and an open air restaurant. They also had a lovely fire pit and buffet for dinner. In the afternoon we had the option of going on a game drive in the afternoon so we did. They have a huge open area and have stocked it with a variety of animals, ostrich, giraffe, Bat Eared Fox, zebra, Oryx, wildebeast, 2 Rhinos and more. It was a fun drive going up and down the small sand dunes and sitting on one for sundowners. They have lovely large simple cottages that reflec the Namibian lifestyle. It was a lovely stay and a good start to our trip, thank you.
