Dinaka Safari Lodge, Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Some places are a little "too safari", you know? Too many features to remind you, you are amongst the animals and to few to remind you that you are on holiday. Dinaka Safari Lodge is elegant, soft even and just enough "safari".

Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

This is an exclusive and private spot in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and it has one of the most diverse biodiversities in the south. This little addition was established in 2017, which means they are more up to date with what's in style. Here you will stay in one of seven twin tented-suites with mosquito nets, white linen and an en-suite and a private patio to take in the easy-going view which you can also enjoy from an outdoor shower.

At the main area, there is a long stretched out deck with a pool, loungers and a luxury outdoor dining area. Overall there is just a soft presence of white and cream tones, it might sound silly but it really does give a calming effect to such a peaceful environment. Also, did we mention the outdoor shaded bar overlooking the watering hole? The animals can't be the only ones drinking.

The activities pretty much tick off everything on the list. You can go on a day or night game drive, a nature walk with the Bushman and a bird safari. For something more laid back, there are evening sundowners and stargazing to wrap up the night.

It is worth noting that there is no WiFi here, but there are enough activities and loungers for you to kick back in other ways, so why not have a social media cleanse and order a cocktail?
