A Typical Day

The day at Dinaka begins with a warm cup of coffee or tea as you watch the golden sunrise. After this, enjoy a guided game drive through the Kalahari’s wilderness. Alternatively, opt for a walking safari to learn about the smaller wonders of the bush, from unique plant life to hidden animal tracks. After a morning of exploration, return to the camp for some leisure time on your private deck or in the lounge.

As the day cools, enjoy a second game drive or perhaps a birdwatching session around one of the nearby waterholes. Evenings are magical, with sundowners in the bush followed by a gourmet dinner back at camp. The day concludes with stargazing under one of the clearest skies in the world, as you relax by the fire pit or from the comfort of your starbed.
