Activities on the
Kalahari Red Dune Route

Kalahari Trails Nature Reserve & Meerkat Sanctuary

Kalahari Trails Meerkat Sanctuary and Nature Reserve is home to a family of rescued meerkats which lives in and around the guesthouse complex. If you are looking for a really unique experience, go with our guides, Richard or Mareli and the meerkat group on one of our early morning walks. What they cannot show you about the Kalahari, the meerkats will! We also offer a Scorpion hunting experience at night!
