A real highlight of Camp Kalahari is a 

Quad-biking excursions onto the Ntwetwe Pan are a real feature of your time here, and they're a great way to travel around the fragile salt crust of these ancient salt pans. You can also visit Chapman's Baobab – which is estimated to be about 4,500 to 5,000 years old. A hole in this great tree was used as post box in historic times, when people left mail to be collected by those passing. When here – note how far the roots extend from the tree – it's amazing!
