The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is one of South Africa's most beautiful, with red Kalahari sands and golden grasses, acacia trees and the painted faces of Oryx. Among the big 5 that call this spectacular park home are a sub-species of Lion with black manes, and desert Elephant that are on a constant journey in search of water. The park is one of the best for safaris and game viewing, and certain to be an adventure to any new or returning travelers.
!Xaus Lodge has 12 individual chalets overlooking the surrounding landscape and nearby waterhole. Each of the chalets has a viewing deck, and all the basic ammenities, though all guests are advised to use water sparingly. A vast circular salt pan is also visible from the lodge and all the rooms, and hosts migratory birds in the rainy season.
Game drives, guided walks, bird watching, cultural tours and stargazing are all on the cards here, though the layout of the lodge is as minimalist as possible, so as not to detract from the beauty and ruggedness of the surrounding wilderness. A number of connected viewing decks offer guests room to look around when not on a game drive, and the bar and restaurant are always sure to be well-stocked.
