Email: buitepos@go.namibiabookings.com The Kalahari Desert is a vast sandveld region which extends over central and western Botswana into eastern Namibia and the Northern Cape. Although generally described as a desert, the typical Kalahari landscape is surprisingly well-vegetated. At Kalahari Bush Breaks you are surrounded by primordial, enthralling savannas while the ambience of the guest house itself is both natural and luxurious. You can relax in comfort while taking in a unique and unspoilt landscape- certainly the best of both worlds. The garden is shaded by worm-bark false-thorn trees (Albizia Anthelmintica) and overlooks a floodlit waterhole where game and birds flock during the day. Natural building materials were used. The three-leveled thatched complex and 2 Chalets can accommodate up to sixteen people (plus 2 guides) sharing. There are eight bedrooms, two which are equipped with double beds, and all have en-suite bathrooms. The partly covered lapa can be referred to as the "heart" of the guest house with open fireplace, a kitchen and bar facilities. The private Collection Rooms at Kalahari Bush Breaks offer privacy and luxury par excellence!! This is for the guests that would like to relax for a few days after or before their African safari. Comprising of the following: private dining facility, bar, lounge and open fire place. Please take note that the campsites are situated 2.5km from the lodge!!! There are ten camping sites, and a waterhole. The camp is conveniently positioned close to the passing Trans-Kgalagadi Highway and an ideal overnight stop for visitors to and from Namibia. Guests can do the 4x4 route whilst staying in the camp sites. Please ask the gate attendant for the map and there is a small cost per vehicle. Breakfast and dinner can be enjoyed at the Guest House and must be booked before 16h00. Ablution facilities are modern with a rustic touch, all to make the visitor feel that he is in Africa.

We are convinced that you will fall in love with the deafening tranquillity and that your impressions will be unforgettable! Time is not an issue; there are no set schedules, and certainly no pressure to participate in drives or walks. The Kalahari Bush Breaks team offers such a broad spectrum of options that guests are at liberty to choose as and when they want, those facilities which suit their personal preferences. •Game drives (pre book before 15h00) There are no lakes here, no flowing rivers. Temperatures are extreme: there are summer highs of over 40°C, and winter lows reach a bone-chilling - 10°C. But this frequently arid and often barren-looking terrain, which has a great beauty of its own, is home to thousands of plants and animals which survive and reproduce century after century. Fascinating survival techniques abound in the hostile wilderness. Location From Johannesburg via Lobatsi, Jwaneng and Kang, a 1000km (11 hour) drive; 26km past the Mamuno border post. All on tarred road. From Windhoek, via Gobabis a 300km drive, all on tarred road. |
