Kalahari Accommodation...
For our Hunters

Our Kalahari accommodation camp is situated ± 545 yards from the Botswana border. Here you have a spectacular view on the famous Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The wide-open spaces, crystal clear starlight, beautiful sunsets and the sounds of the African nights will form part of your true African experience with us.

We offer you personal attention in a unique Kalahari setting of untouched nature. You will feel very much part of the surrounding fauna and flora and will be able to enjoy the exceptional tranquility and peace of the Kalahari.

We have two ranch houses on Uitspan as well as a "hunters' camp" where we accommodate our hunting guests. While being in the middle of the African bush, these facilities still offer all the requirements to make your stay easy and comfortable.

The buildings were planned in such a way that it will enhance your safari travel experience. We have 5 rooms available in the camp which have cold/hot showers, flushing toilets, bedding and closets.

We personally service the rooms every day and make sure your laundry is done at least every second day.

We have internet and phone facilities available at Uitspan's two main ranch houses where you will at least come by once a day. No running electricity is available in our hunters' camp. Solar power is used for lights and the charging of camera batteries, etc.

We can accommodate 4 hunters (2x1) at a time. We prefer not to take more than that at any stage to make sure we give each client the best hunting experience possible.

From our Visitor's Book

"We, as many others, came as hunters en left as friends.  Thank you so much for the stories, knowledge and excellent hunting.... Dori had a great trip, and as for myself, the hunting was fantastic and my PH perfect!..."
(Steve Shaffer, Nebraska, USA)

"Julle het my droom in 'n ongelooflike manier waar gemaak. Ek dank die Here vir mense soos julle en wens julle alle voorspoed toe hier op Uitspan!  Nogmaals dankie vir al julle moeite, en ek is ernstig as ek sê 'tot weersiens'..."
(Louw Koegenlenberg, New Zealand)

"A wonderful time in hunting and then in the evening a great time around the table with wonderful food and company.
Thank you to the whole family for your hospitality."
(John Palffy, Australia)

"...I am usually relegated to describing your family to my frineds by saying that if the Duvenhage-family lived next door to our family, then we would be best of friends. I think they now understand one of the unadvertised lures of Africa...."(Bryce Philips, USA)

"Such a wonderful way to learn about your country! The camp has the "real Africa" feeling and your home made us feel very welcome. The love we feel is like family and we hope to see you again... the memories will be with us forever. Thank you for love and generosity!"
(Heike Baier, WA, USA)

"Your hospitality is that of a true Texan! Uitspan is awesome! It was truly a blessing to spend a week with you. Your family reminds me so very much of my own. The hunting was great!"
(Darlene Evans, Texas, USA)

Did you know? Pangolins have poor sight and do not have any external ears, although their hearing is very good. Their sense of scent is well developed and they locate ants nests by smell. Watch our Kalahari Pangolin-video!
