Camelthorn Lodge is set in a secluded valley between two red sand dunes, and hidden amongst ancient Camelthorn trees.

The Kalahari Private Game Reserve is a 10 000 ha wildlife sanctuary located in the south-western region of the Kalahari, along the upper reaches of the Auob river system of Namibia.

The expanse of the reserve is characterized by lofty ancient parallel red dunes sparsely covered by unique vegetation.

Grassy plains peppered with centuries old camelthorn trees commonly known as dune streets or valleys separate the dunes providing refuge for diverse animal and bird life indigenous to the Kalahari.
