Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge

Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge lies on the banks of a vlei and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful sand dunes of the Kalahari. A 120-metre long wooden bridge leads out to the restaurant, bar and reception area, which also includes a sunken pool. Twelve comfortable permanent tents are nestled on the embankment, spaced far apart to offer you an intimate atmosphere. From the individual terraces you have a view of the vlei, where you can watch animals which come down to drink in the evenings. Wildlife in this area includes giraffe, nyala, impala, zebra, wildebeest, oryx, springbuck and eland.

Early morning and sundowner game drives are offered, as well as hiking trails on a well-developed network of paths. Choose from one hour walks to full day excursions. Guided options are also available. Of special interest here is an optional visit to the devil’s claw plantation combined with a slide show and further information about the conservation of this specific endangered plant for medicinal purposes.
