THAKADU CAMP

Thakadu Camp is just 5 km south of Ghanzi.  This beautiful camp, which is situated on a game farm, overlooks a natural pan with year round water surrounded by ancient Leadwood trees.

The pan attracts a magnificent variety of birds. A variety of antelope visits the waterhole to quench their thirst much to the delight of our valued guests.  Amongst them you may sight some large Eland, Springbok, Wildbeest and numerous others.  I even heard the roar of a lion on my last visit. At Thakadu Camp you are not only near Ghanzi, you are in nature while still enjoying the comfortable facilities.

The restaurant and bar area at Thakadu is basic, comfortable, the food good and the hospitality extraordinary.  You can nowadays log on high speed internet with your laptop whilst enjoying a cold beer or a magnificent and affordable meal.  Whatever you choose, Chris, Janette and their staff at Thakadu Camp are ready to spoil you.

Thakadu Camp can easily be reached with any sedan car.  The last 3 km is a gravel road – travelling in a sedan car you will need to drive slowly.  You will however reach Thakadu Camp with only a bit of dust as proof that your car was on safari.  This is the perfect overnight stop between Maun and Namibia, or South Africa, but we recommend staying a little longer.  Only on your second night will you start appreciating the environment.

Thakadu Camp offers a variety of comfortable accommodation.

The chalets are mainly built of local material and are air-conditioned, spacious with three beds, and a very large bathroom. 

The meru en-suite tents are slightly less luxurious yet still spacious with all amenities that you may require after a long day's drive. 

All chalets and meru tents have a large deck and coffee/tea-making facilities.

The campsite is very well-equipped with electric points and beautiful communal ablutions.

The following activities can be arranged: Horse trails, game walks, Bushmen walks, traditional Bushmen dancing and guided trips into the surrounding wilderness areas.

Thakadu Camp is managed by the owners, who go out of their way to ensure that your stay is most enjoyable.  We cannot wait to spoil you and your family.
