Kalahari Plains Camp was our introduction to Botswana. It was the perfect starting point with the dry sands, flat pans, and open vistas. Little did we realize how close the mating lions were going to be the very first night when they were calling within a few feet of our tents! The staff were wonderful and the tents were quite comfortable. It made such an amazing contrast to our next camps in the Okavango Delta. We saw a variety of birds here not seen later in the Delta.
