Fodor's Expert Review Kalahari Trails
Andriesvale, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Northern Cape, 8800, South Africa
Offering clean, comfortable self-catering accommodations just a short drive away from the Twee Rivieren gate to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, this is the kind of unique place that's worth seeking out. A compelling narrative is often the key to getting the most out of a destination, and retired zoology professor Anna Rasa (herself a story) translates the story of the broader Kalahari and the transfrontier park exceedingly well. Observe the meerkat family on her 9-acre property, go on a game drive, and learn about this bewitching landscape and its inhabitants. Morning and evening walks are very popular, with the sundowner drives a favorite. Tours are offered in both German and English. There are also some bush-camp accommodations for those who would rather rough it.
PROS
- individual and unique
- Anna is engaging and a font of information
- very reasonably priced
CONS
- accommodations are a bit basic
- it's a bit of a way from many of the Kgalagadi's wildlife hot spots
- due to her age, Anna doesn't lead the walks any more, which is a loss
