Gharagab Wilderness Camp is a property for self catering in Kgalagadi for anyone visiting the Kalahari region.

About Gharagab Wilderness Camp

Nestled within the untamed expanse of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, the Gharagab Wilderness Retreat beckons adventurers seeking an escape into nature's embrace. Tucked away in the remote northern reaches of the Kgalagadi park, this sanctuary offers a panoramic spectacle of Kalahari dunes and the sprawling thornveld savannah below.

Access to Gharagab is exclusively reserved for rugged 4x4 vehicles, navigating a solitary sandy trail branching off 20 kilometers from the main route beyond Grootkolk. Positioned near Union's End in the park's northern precinct, it unveils the captivating tapestry of Kalahari's tree-dotted grasslands, inviting guests to immerse themselves in its serene beauty.

Accommodation

The Gharagab Wilderness Retreat boasts four cozy Log Cabin units, each furnished with twin beds and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, toilet, and washbasin.

A well-appointed kitchen awaits, equipped with a gas-powered fridge-freezer, essential cutlery, crockery, and cooking utensils. Illuminated by solar-powered lights, the kitchenette provides hot water via gas, while the deck hosts barbecue facilities for alfresco dining.

Crafted from a harmonious blend of wood, cane, and canvas, these units epitomize rustic comfort, akin to their counterparts in other wilderness outposts. However, it's worth noting that the water here bears a salty tinge, unsuitable even for culinary endeavors, necessitating guests to bring their own supply.

On-Site Facilities

Powered by solar and gas, the camp eschews traditional electrical sockets, fostering an eco-conscious ethos.

A raised observation deck offers a vantage point for wildlife enthusiasts, while the absence of fencing underscores the immersive wilderness experience, overseen by a diligent Tourism Assistant.

Important Information

Access to the camp is restricted to robust 4WD vehicles sans trailers, traversing a designated one-way route.
