Open Africa Kalahari Red Dune Route

Open Africa Kalahari Red Dune Route Mention the word Kalahari and it evokes images of flowing red dunes; herds of majestic gemsbok; pronk

The Kalahari Red Dune Route hosts 30 guest houses/farms and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in a 300–350 km radius. It starts 50 km from Upington on the R360 and heads to Askham/Van Zylsrus/Andriesvale (Khomani San), Kgalagadi Park, the R31 and Mier region. The semi-desert spans across the borders of three countries. Here the smiles are genuine, the hospitality of the Kalahari farms will leave y

ou astounded and the food is local and ‘lekker’. We have the open spaces, friendly people, rich history and unique cultural diversity. The lack of pollution makes it an incredible stargazing destination and it is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your family and friends. Camping deep in the bush surrounded by wildlife, Kalahari Trails' morning walks, sand surfing on the Kalahari Dunes and Diamond T Coffee Shop’s venison pie, is a definite bucket-list item. Other activities include sundowners on a dune, khomani heritage museum & walks with traditional dances and storytelling at the fire, spoor tracking and medical use of local herbs, craft markets, 4x4 routes, donkey cart rides, game drives and visit our camel farm Koppieskraal with Lost City. There’s a saying that once you get the Kalahari sand in your shoes, you will always come back – OBEY THAT IMPULSE!

Did You Know There Are Four Hyena Species?

Meet the hyenas you don't know: cool creatures often unfairly persecuted.

With their “laugh,” bizarre appearance and varied diet, hyenas are among those creatures that generate myth, legend and misinformation.

Snakes typically hunt mice and other small rodents as their primary food source. By preying on these animals, they help regulate their numbers, which in turn can benefit plant life and other wildlife that may be negatively impacted by an overabundance of rodents.

This predator-prey relationship is a fundamental aspect of many ecosystems, demonstrating the interconnectedness of species and the importance of biodiversity in maintaining ecological balance.

Over the past three months the Kalahari Red Dune Route has had the pleasure of hosting five incredible TriSport groups. By offering these experiences, Trisport promotes tourism, physical activity and environmental appreciation in a responsible way. They put a strong emphasis on professionalism and prioritizing their customers’ needs in their Kalahari tours to deliver a seamless experience.

We want to extend a huge thank you to Hano and Sonja for introducing South Africans from all walks of life to the beauty of the Kalahari. These groups experienced our breathtaking landscapes, met our friendly people and discovered the unique adventures and experiences the Kalahari offers. It was a joy to have each and everyone of them, and we look forward to welcoming TriSport back to tackle the dunes, whether by bike or feet, again next year!
