About Kieliekrankie Wilderness Camp
Perched high on a red sand dune overlooking the Kalahari’s vast arid landscape, Kieliekrankie Wilderness Camp offers one of the most breathtaking views in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Located approximately 50 km south of Twee Rivieren Rest Camp, the camp is accessible only by 4x4 vehicle and provides a truly remote and tranquil escape into the desert wilderness.
The camp features four self-catering units and a dedicated dune cabin for people with limited mobility, each equipped with solar power, gas facilities, and private decks with panoramic views. A small waterhole below the camp attracts wildlife such as springbok, gemsbok, red hartebeest, and even elusive predators like leopard and cheetah, offering excellent game-viewing opportunities from the comfort of your veranda.
Kieliekrankie Wilderness Camp is one of six wilderness camps in the park, each designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding dunes while minimizing environmental impact. The camp’s eco-friendly setup – relying on solar energy and natural materials – exemplifies SANParks’ commitment to sustainable tourism in fragile desert ecosystems.
