Description

Bitterpan is an unfenced wilderness camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Elevated above the red sand dunes of the Kalahari and suspended in time Bitterpan is an exclusive, stilted camp overlooking a waterhole.

Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors, this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

The camp is is accessible only to 4-wheel drive high clearance vehicles with no trailers, and links the 2 rivers of Nossob and Auob. The route may only be travelled in a 1-way direction from Nossob to Mata-Mata. The area overlooks a huge pan but has few trees. The camp, which is small and exclusive, is surrounded only by the silence of the great Kalahari.

It has 4 chalets that each contain a bedroom with 2 single beds, and their own bathroom with a shower, a toilet and a washbasin. Each chalet has its own braai facility.

Guests will also have shared use of a communal kitchen and a shared braai area that is popular with 4x4 groups. The communal kitchen is fully equipped with a stove and oven, fridge-freezer, cooking utensils and cutlery. There are also dining tables and chairs. Power in the camp is supplied by solar and gas, there are no conventional plugs. The camp also has a raised viewing platform and a private circular drive route

This camp is not fenced and a Tourism Assistant is on duty at all times.
