Grootkolk

Grootkolk is an unfenced wilderness camp in the far north of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

There is a communal kitchen with two desert cabins on either side of it. Each of the four cabins has a barbecue area so you do not need to make use of the communal kitchen.

The cabins are made from sand bags and canvas and tend to be small and cramped compared to the other wilderness camps.

The desert cabins were recently extended as you will see from the next photograph...

... providing extra space outside when cooking but the interiors are still cramped.

The nearest shop is at Nossob, about 100 kilometers away so please make sure you take enough food, water and firewood or charcoal with you!

The waterhole, in our opinion, is the worst of the wilderness camps. It is hidden by grass and you cannot see the animals drinking unlike Urikaruus, Gharagab, Kiielie Krankie and Kalahari Tented Camp, where you can see the water and therefore you get to see the animals as they are lapping the water, making for much better photographs.

Not everyone is a photographer so the camp does suit people who just want to get away from civilization and experience a sense of wilderness.

This page has been created to allow visitors to post their special stories and pictures for others to see.

The photographs should be taken at the camp waterhole or close to the camp area.

Visitors to this page can then comment on, discuss and rate each picture and story.

This owl was sitting under a tree near our cabin at Grootkolk. It looks like a baby so maybe it fell out the tree?

This snake was moving for no one! We were driving from Nossob to Grootkolk when he started to cross the road in front of us. We nearly ran over him but ...
