SAN CAMP
 
General Information

San Camp offers the Earth, stripped naked. And, such restraint holds its own charms.
And this place could not be more different from everywhere. The camp is the Stewart Granger Memorial Collection of 1940s safari tents, with no running water nor electricity but with four-poster beds, mosquito net canopies, cambric sheets, bucket showers, paraffin lamps and butlers. Six pale khaki canvas tents twinned with a dramatic location, combine to create an oasis of civilization in what can be the harshest of stark environments.
 The result: One of the most romantic camps in Africa!"

     
Highlights & Activities

San Camp sits serenely in a reef of palm at the edge of the world.You can see the curve of the earth here. Turn 360° and nothing crosses the eye but the bowl of the sky. It is the nothing-ness that attracts. This is God's own minimalism.   
A safari to San Camp is also a complete desert experience focusing on species unique to the area such as aardvark, gemsbuck and springbuck.

Venturing far into the centre of the Makgadikgadi, on 4wd quad bikes, we are able to explore remote archaeological sites, periodically discovering never before documented fossil beds of extinct giant zebra and hippo. No outcrops, no features, no grass, no trees, no sound but the crunch of your boots in the crust.
We team up with a small group of Zu/’hoasi Bushmen to guide our Guests on a morning’s walks and game drives.
Offering a window into the past, the Bushmen teach us how they have survived in this harshest of environments, using ancient knowledge of plants, animal behaviour and survival skills.
