Located on a private conservancy along the northern boundary of Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Dinaka Camp offers a rare and enriching contrast to the watery landscapes of the Okavango Delta. This dynamic and ever-changing terrain—marked by fossil riverbeds, acacia scrub, and vast open plains—supports one of southern Africa’s most diverse ecosystems. From desert-adapted species like springbok and oryx to elusive predators such as the brown hyena and Kalahari lion, Dinaka is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts seeking a different side of safari.
This landscape is constantly transforming with the seasons, revealing a rich tapestry of life from dry-adapted species like springbok and oryx to elusive predators such as the Kalahari lion and brown hyena. The conservancy is also a haven for birdlife, including endemic desert species rarely found elsewhere in Botswana. Its remote location ensures an uncrowded, authentic safari experience where the silence of the desert speaks volumes.
Guests can explore the territory on game drives during the day and after dark, when night-time creatures emerge. With guided walking safaris provide an up-close understanding of the Kalahari’s delicate balance, and a unique cultural walk with San Bushmen reveals ancient traditions and survival skills passed down through generations. The camp also offers a photographic hide, a lookout deck, and an underground bunker ideal for capturing wildlife in its purest form.
Dinaka’s tented suites are tastefully designed with comfort and seclusion in mind. Despite the remote setting, they are exceptionally well-equipped and well-sealed too, as not even the insects find their way in. The communal areas are warm and welcoming, perfect for sharing stories over sundowners or enjoying delicious meals around a shared table. A standout feature is the inclusive atmosphere created by the staff, who go above and beyond to make guests feel at home.
