Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge

Dream

The 13 suites are authentically designed, combining canvas, stone and thatch with large picture windows that flood the interiors with light. Each suite boasts a spacious bedroom alongside an inviting living room and stylish bathroom, while outside, a private deck with sunbeds awaits. Guests can look forward to modern comforts, including air conditioning, WiFi, a mini-bar, an espresso machine, and a tea station.

For a stay with that extra touch of indulgence, the two Superior Suites feature expansive interiors and generous outdoor decks complete with their own private pool – an idyllic spot to cool off whilst marvelling at the beauty of the Kalahari.

Eat

Dine al fresco on the terrace or in the elegant dining room with its lofty thatched ceiling and roaring open fire – at Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge, the settings are as magical as the dishes themselves, each one thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. A cosy bar invites guests to unwind with refreshing beverages, from crisp local wines to smooth, velvety whiskeys.

Play

A variety of activities, from independent explorations and day excursions to multi-day tours, allow guests to delve deep into the wonder of the Kalahari. Jogging, hiking and biking are all possible around the lodge without a guide, while sunset game drives are just one of the unforgettable expert-led options. The two-night Trans Kalahari Walk is a true once-in-a-lifetime experience – navigate the vast Kalahari on foot, crossing sand dunes and plains dotted with game - a complete immersion in the sights, sounds and rhythms of this ancient wilderness.       

Unwind

With its remote position surrounded by the Kalahari’s wilds, the lodge is a peaceful retreat that feels a million miles away from everyday life. Guests can relax, soothed by the tranquillity of its mesmerising surroundings, taking time out on their private deck or dipping their toes into the refreshing waters of the communal pool. Spectacular sunsets inspire quiet reflection, best enjoyed with a sundowner in hand while gazing at the kaleidoscope of colours streaking across the sky.
