Dinaka sits on a private 40,000-hectare reserve on the northern boundary of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, which means it can run activities the national reserve does not permit. Seven tents with king beds and a two-bedroom family tent take up to twenty guests. Guests do day and night game drives with off-road access, armed guided walks, tracking and educational walks with San guides, and overnight stays on a sleep-out deck; there is an underground photographic hide at a waterhole. Black-maned Kalahari lion, cheetah and brown hyena are the species most associated with the area, and more than 200 bird species are recorded. Operated by Ker & Downey Botswana.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Central Kalahari, Botswana. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, see the property's own site.
