Meerkats, or suricates, are one of the Kalahari’s best-known animals but not often seen by visitors to the nearby Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Kalahari Trails Meerkat Sanctuary lies just 35km before the Park entrance at Twee Rivieren.
Guests staying at our Wildlife reserve, with its various self-catering facilities, are welcome to visit our tame colony.
These are all ‘misfits’- animals confiscated for cruelty, orphans and unwanted pets – which, now rehabilitated, have formed their own family group.
They roam freely about the lodge grounds, breeding and living a natural life. Photographers will be delighted at the photographic opportunities they offer. Visit us at Kalahari Trails to learn more about the magnificent Kalahari and its animals on our guided walks and tours. Day visitors are welcome to join us. Only at Kalahari Trails can you take a walk through the dunes with a meerkat family, an unique experience not to be missed.
