About Grootkolk Wilderness Camp

Just 20 kilometres from Union's End and nestled close to the Namibian border, lies the secluded enclave of Grootkolk Wilderness Camp, positioned as the most northerly outpost within the region.

Renowned for its allure, these remote expanses of the northern Kgalagadi are favoured by the enigmatic black-maned Kalahari lion.

Grootkolk Wilderness Camp, ensconced within the unfenced realms of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, offers an intimate retreat amid the wilderness. Despite its isolate locale, this enclave remains accessible even to 2-wheel drive vehicles.

By nightfall, a waterhole drawing an array of wildlife, casts an enchanting ambiance over the plains.

Self-Catering Accommodation

Providing sanctuary amidst the wilderness, Grootkolk Wilderness Camp features 4 Desert Cabins, each furnished with twin beds and complemented by a ceiling fan. An en-suite bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, and basin for comfort and convenience.

Outside, a private patio with a washing area, alongside a table, chairs, and braai facilities, invites moments of repose beneath the African sky.

Facilities On-Site

Operated by solar and gas, the camp eschews conventional power sources, fostering an eco-conscious ethos. A communal kitchen, complete with a gas stove, oven, fridge-freezer, and dining amenities, facilitates shared culinary endeavours.

Additionally, a communal braai fireplace offers a space for gathering under the stars. With its unfenced perimeter, the untamed savannah extends directly to your doorstep, overseen by a trained and equipped ranger, ensuring safety amidst the wilderness.

Important Information

While accessible to sedan vehicles, a 4x4 with high ground clearance and low range capabilities is recommended for traversing the terrain with ease.

The Environs

Where crimson dunes meld with the horizon and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland, and blue wildebeest traverse the landscape with the rhythm of the seasons, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park unfolds its majesty.

From South Africa's Twee Rivieren gate to Namibia's Mata-Mata gate and Botswana's Two Rivers, Mabuasehube, and Kaa gates, access to this pristine wilderness beckons from three different countries.
