San Camp
The summer rains also leave a warm shallow layer of water that entices waterfowl and flamingos. Activities are conducted in open 4x4 vehicles, custom designed for this terrain and accompanied by knowledgeable guides. In the winter months only, all-purpose ATV vehicles (four wheeler motorcycles/Quad bikes) are available, allowing guests to travel across the saltpans. Walks with a Bushman tracker and visits to historical boabab trees used by Livingstone and Selous are alternative options. High season: July to September Low season: 25 April to June The camp is closed 01 October to 24 April as the rainy season makes access difficult. Game Viewing Year round: unique desert species - Suricate (Meerkats), Brown Hyaena, Aardvark, Aardwolf, Gemsbuck, Springbuck, etc. Wet season: Flamingo, Stork, Wattled Crane, Waterfowl, Annual Wildebeest and Zebra migration.
San Camp is located deep in the Kalahari Desert on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans, the largest saltpans in the world.
