Dinaka Camp

Dinaka ('horns' in local dialect) is a five-star luxury tented camp set within an exclusive 40,000-hectare private game reserve hugging the northern boundary of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve — one of the largest nature reserves in the world. Opened in 2017 and operated by Ker & Downey Botswana, the camp is a premier desert wildlife destination offering extraordinary sightings of black-maned Kalahari lion, cheetah, leopard, brown hyena, honey badger, oryx, and springbok. Eight thatched tented suites (including one family tent) are raised on wooden decks with king beds, mini-bars, indoor and outdoor showers, and verandas overlooking the camp's wildlife-frequented waterhole. Activities include morning, afternoon, and night game drives; walking safaris; educational San Bushmen cultural walks; underground photographic hides; and a sleep-out deck for stargazing. Dinaka has been awarded five-star status by the Botswana Tourism Board and is EcoTourism certified.
