Urikaruus Wilderness Camp
A SANParks self-catering camp.
Overlooking the Auob River, Urikaruus Wilderness Camp is hidden away in Camelthorn trees. These trees attract a vast number of birds. The stilted Cabins are split level with your kitchen/dining area below and the bedroom above via a short stairway. The cabins are connected via an elevated wooden walkway. The camp is a two-hour drive from Twee Rivieren, where you check in as well.
We do not take rest camp bookings. Camps are booked directly with SANParks, where current tariffs are published.

The luxury alternative
If you would rather not self-cater.
We do not take rest camp bookings. What our safari specialists do arrange is the private Kalahari reserves: private lodges where expert guiding, meals and game drives are included, and nothing is left to the camp kitchen. We look after international travellers and SADC residents alike, and many lodges offer reduced SADC rates.
