Is the San Camp for Me?

Classic white tents perched on the shore of an enormous sparkling salt pan, each sheltered by a cluster of stately desert palms. Spectacular vistas, soothing and serene – pared down safari elegance with minimal ecological impact, it is the nothingness that attracts. San Camp runs almost entirely on solar energy, thus dramatically reducing the use of fossil fuels. The perfect place to relax, unwind and retreat.

Offering 5 twin and 2 double tents with en-suite bathrooms and spacious veranda, the rooms are spacious and stylish.

San Camp is open only for 6 months of the year during the dry season (16th of April to 15th of October).You are encouraged to go quad biking across the lunar expanse of the pans, lie out on the pans as the sun sets watching the planetarium show unfold with horizon-to-horizon stars. Get unbelievably up close and personal with meerkats; spend time walking and interacting with a group of Zu/’hoasi Bushmen to gain insight into their ancient culture; game drive to experience unique desert wildlife. You can visit Fallen Baobab, campsite of Livingstone & Selous and one of the three largest and oldest trees in Africa. Relax into the solitude of your environment under canopy of the yoga pavilion.
