Kieliekrankie and Kalahari Tented Camp
The next two wilderness camps is Kieliekrankie and Urikaruus. Both are very popular and can be reached by normal car or "platkar" (flat car). Kieliekrankie's strong point is that it features a beautiful view over the dunes and also a wide view onto a waterhole in a amphitheatre-like setting. Lots of tiny birds visit you on your nice-wide stoep. The huts at Kieliekrankie are also the most luxurious of them all. The sunsets are also superb and in winter, accompanied by the sounds of thousands of Barking Geckos.
