Kalahari Game Lodge Activities

The lion tracking option is an exhilarating game driving experience focused on tracking and following the Kalahari Lions at the lodge. We make use of GPS-technology to track down the lions in the reserve. By collaring a number of key lions, we can keep track of our pride to ensure their conservation, with the added bonus that these drives guarantee encounters with the king of the Kalahari. These magnificent animals are the highlight of any African safari, and to see them in close proximity is part of the unique Kalahari Game Lodge offering. Guides take pride in sharing their knowledge with guests to fully appreciate the uniqueness of the area. Kalahari Game Lodge is the only place in Namibia where Kalahari lions still roam free in the desert.

Kalahari Game Lodge offers other alternative game viewing activities in addition to the lion tracking experience. Our knowledgeable guides are very passionate about the Kalahari bush and all its creatures. Their contagious passion will ensure that this experience will be long-remembered by all.

Situated in the heart of the southern Kalahari Desert biome the lodge provides a unique habitat to 55 mammals, 58 different reptile families and 185 bird species. The 4×4 trail is mapped out on a 3500ha portion of the lodge. (No lions can be seen on 4×4 self-drive as this can only be experienced with the lion tracking.

The dune braai experience is definitely not to be missed. Guests are driven to the peak of a dune with a magnificent view of the reserve. Here couples or small groups can enjoy an intimate meal prepared by top-notch chefs, while enjoying the view. In summer, our guests can enjoy the cooler late-afternoon, early evening air, while their early supper is being prepared. Even the journey back, as the sun sets, will leave one in awe of the beauty that is Namibia. In winter, the dune braai is a pleasurable lunch, where guests can enjoy the view in the warm midday sun.
