Situated in the heart of Botswana – the Central Kalahari Desert – Dinaka offers an explosion of colorful bird life, herds of graceful antelope, and prides of Africa's fiercest predators – amongst them the Kalahari black-maned lion.
The constantly changing face of this desert landscape – from stark wilderness in winter, to lush vegetation in summer.
Accommodation
A small lodge of only 6 tents, Dinaka Safari Lodge is able to provide your client with real home comforts without losing its authentic bush feel.
Each tent is a private hideaway, nestled under the branches of the 'Purple Pod' trees; they blend in with the natural surroundings. All tents have an en-suite bathroom, with an open air shower and flushing toilet, along with a dressing
area, and a bedroom with large white linen covered beds (king size, or 2 singles). At the entrance to each tent is a covered veranda that overlooks the permanent waterhole we created – a perfect spot to relax in after a day of new sights and sounds.
The spacious main lodge is furnished with comfort in mind and provides your client with lounges, both a dining and bar area, and splash pool for those hotter months. To minimize any effects on the pristine natural environment the camp is 100% solar operated.
Activities
- Game drives - Both during the day and night. Watch the vast landscape transform as the sun sets and darkness settles
in over the bush revealing new creatures and night-calls.
- Nature walks with Bushmen trackers –Learn from, or simply enjoy being in the presence of someone who is as much a
part of the African bush as the sand you walk on or the sky you walk under.
- Stargazing - The night sky is a diamond studded wonder. We will have an opportunity to share our knowledge of the
African skies with you. More detailed astronomy courses can be provided by special arrangement.
- Sundowners on a raised hide overlooking a waterhole – With a drink of their own, they can watch a myriad of animals
quench their thirst after a long day in the African sun.
- A sleep out in the hide –Bed down next to the waterhole and experience the thrill of nature by night. Sleep outs are
arranged upon request.
- Photographic safaris - capture moments of the Kalahari; perhaps a dew-lit sunrise or the giant African bullfrog in a rain
filled pan...
- Birding safaris – with over 200 positively identified bird species, the central Kalahari truly is a birders paradise.
