Against the size and shadow of the immense Kgalagadi Transfrontier National park, huddled into the reverberating expanse of the Kalahari Desert, and standing silent watch over the Auob River, the charmingly rustic Urikaruus Camp is an honest and unique slice of this attractive wilderness setting ? set up on stilts and left completely unfenced, leaving guests to integrate themselves naturally into the surrounding environment and soak in the gorgeous atmosphere ? an organic and wild setting in which the lines between comfort and adventure are almost indiscernible.

Riverside cabin accommodation is provided in a series of units affixed to the the Auob river, units which are each furnished with two single beds, linen, fridge-freezer combinations, and gas and solar power, as well as braai (barbecue) facilities. These cabins are entirely suited towards a self catering, semi luxury stay, with everything a guest could need being made readily available.

Activities including exceptional game viewing are conducted and coordinated by a series of highly skilled and informative guides, with rugged 4 x 4 trails and walking loops snaking in, out, and around the Urikaruus Wilderness Camp site being available to guests of the camp specifically. Urikaruus also provides numerous fine facilities, including a full laundry service, an on-site bar, and braai (barbecue) areas , as well as a swimming pool.

Kgalagadi park is home to an extensive range of dry-land-condition wildlife, including gemsbok, cheetah, giraffe, eland, Spotted Hyena, springbok, lion, Red Hartebeest, and Short-Tailed Gerbil. Arguably more notable to the area is the park’s huge 280 strong indigenous bird population, including Tawny and Black-breasted (chested) Snake Eagle, Gabar Goshawk, Pale Chanting Goshawk, bateleur, Greater Kestrel, White-backed and Lappet-faced Vulture, and Pygmy Falcon.
