Experience solitude, escape, expanse, beauty and endless nature tucked away in the Western Kalahari.
Tucked away in the Western Kalahari in South Africa, lies a truly unique part of God’s creation. This barren and dry land is home to the only camel dairy in South Africa and serves as the inspiration of Afriqueen, our camel milk skincare range.
Farmed by the third generation of the Knoesen Family, it is also home to a Meat Master sheep herd. Birders appreciate the Verreaux’s eagles and 140 other bird species. The unusual natural scenery includes a vast clay pan as well as natural skyskrapers and rock formations. Various hiking trails are available.
Be sure to include a stay at Koppieskraal Kameelplaas as part of your next trip to the Kgalagadi National Park.
