Kalahari Desert Cam
About the Kalahari Desert Cam
NamibiaCam’s Kalahari Desert waterhole is set in the heart of the Gondwana Kalahari Park in southern Namibia — just 33 km from Mariental and 34 km from Stampriet, near Kalahari Anib Lodge.
Here, the Kalahari unfolds in pure, untamed beauty. Golden grasses shimmer against burnt-orange dunes, dark green acacias punctuate the horizon, and an endless blue sky stretches beyond imagination. As the sun dips low, the desert ignites in a breathtaking display of fiery reds, deep purples, and glowing ambers.
