Explore the Kalahari on your own in a 4x4

The 4×4 self-drive trail takes you along designated off-road routes through the private grounds of Kalahari Game Lodge. You drive independently in your own 4x4 vehicle through typical Kalahari landscapes with red dunes, open grass plains, stands of acacia and wide open flats. The trail is well marked and allows you to explore the route at your own pace. Along the way you will repeatedly enjoy views over the characteristic dry landscape with its dune belts and dry riverbeds.

Wildlife viewing is just as important as the off-road driving. You regularly see giraffes, gemsbok and springbok, all adapted to the dry conditions of the Kalahari. Your chances of wildlife sightings are highest in the early morning and late afternoon. The vegetation of grasses, thornbushes and acacias shapes the scenery and changes depending on the season and rainfall.

Driving through deep sand and across dune sections requires off-road experience and a suitable 4×4 vehicle. The route combines an active nature experience with the vastness and silence of the Kalahari. Thanks to the remoteness and open landscapes, you get an intense sense of wilderness, with the driving itself becoming part of the adventure.
