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.

Palm Afrique is a welcoming safari-style lodge in the heart of the Kalahari with a relaxed atmosphere, cold drinks, delicious meals and genuine hospitality.

On a private nature reserve, you’ll have the chance to see plains game including springbok, zebra, sable, oryx, eland and kudu. Birding is a pastime here as is sitting with your feet up and simply enjoying the peacefulness. From a lounger at the pool, there’s nothing but the distant buzz of the midday heat and the chink of ice against your glass.

It’s a humble offering but one you will appreciate when all you’ve seen for miles around is dusty roads and the open Kalahari expanse. A respite and a spot to simply chill after a long day on the Trans-Kalahari road.

Green lawns, palm trees and a refreshing swimming pool. A variety of gins to choose from for your sundowner, delicious local cuisine and a good night’s rest. Sounds like a decent place to find yourself for a night.

Activities

Relaxation and taking it slow is the main activity here. It’s all about putting your feet up and simply enjoying the tranquillity. Take a walk to enjoy the surrounding nature and wildlife or sit back and revel in the quiet.
