DAY 1
Kickoff from Khamkirri to Augrabies & Riemvasmaak
Our adventure begins bright and early at 8 AM at Khamkirri Resort, just outside Kakamas. After a warm meet & greet and a quick safety briefing, we fire up our 4x4s and hit the rugged trails.
Our first stop? Riemvasmaak, where we take on dusty tracks leading to breathtaking desert landscapes and the legendary hot springs, a true oasis in the arid terrain. After soaking in the beauty of this remote gem, we continue our journey to the Augrabies Falls, witnessing the sheer power of the Orange River plunging into the gorge below. Later we enjoy lunch at the Augrabies Falls Restaurant and then weré off to Die Mas for a wine tasting and much later we enjoy a River Cruise on the Orange River and a delishious dinner at the Khamkirri Restaurant to round off a fantastic day.
DAY 2
Journey into the Kalahari & Camel Encounters
A highlight of the day is an exploration of the story of Koppies Kraal Camel Milking Farm, where we hear about the health benefits of camel milk—particularly its reported positive impact on children with Down syndrome. We also explore the fascinating remains of the Lost City, made famous by the legendary explorer, the Great Firinni. After Lunch we head over to the Meerkat Sanctuary for an insigtful visit, learning all about the little creatures. By late afternoon, we arrive at Kgalagadi Lifestyle Lodge, our base for the next three nights. After settling in, we enjoy a delicious dinner at the Black Mane Butcher & Grill, known for its bold, Kalahari-style cuisine. A perfect end to a memorable day.
DAY 3
Exploring the Wild Heart of the Kgalagadi
We fuel up with an early breakfast before setting off on an unforgettable safari into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This vast wilderness, home to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife, is known for its red dunes, open grasslands, and incredible predator sightings. Our route takes us northwest towards Mata-Mata, following the dry riverbeds where springbok, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, and majestic Kalahari lions roam freely. With a bit of luck, we might even spot the elusive leopard or a cheetah on the hunt. Later in the evening, we head into the dunes to enjoy cheese and wine as the sun drops and the sky lights up in colour. After our sunset cruise, we head back to the Kgalagdi Lodge for a delicious dinner and a good nights sleep in their comfortable beds.
DAY 4
Into the Heart of the Kalahari & an Authentic Khomani San Experience
With another exciting day ahead, we enjoy breakfast before setting off northward into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, this time venturing toward Nossob
As we navigate the park’s rugged 4×4 trails, we keep our eyes peeled for lions, cheetahs, jackals, and large raptor birds soaring overhead.
Later we check into our next Lodge for our final nights stay at the famous Molopo Lodge, The Molopo Kalahari Lodge boasts luxury chalets with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms.
DAY 5
Farewell to the Kalahari
After a hearty breakfast, we pack up our gear and begin our journey back towards Upington, taking in the last breathtaking views of the Kalahari. Along the way, we make time for a final coffee stop and reflect on the unforgettable memories made over the past few days—the rugged 4×4 trails, the incredible wildlife sightings, the warm camaraderie, and the magic of the Kgalagadi.
Upon reaching Upington, it’s time for farewells, but not goodbye—just until next time when we embark on another epic adventure together!
