Loch Maree farm was named by a Scottish surveyor, name Jackson, in the late 1800's, as are many farms in the region. The white Loch Maree salt pan is 13km in circumference and stands in stark contrast against the red Kalahari dunes and is a 'must see'! Our unfenced Field & Bush Camp brings the veld right to your door, letting you experience this beautiful tree and grass savanna of the Kalahari with its rich bird-life. Be on the lookout for the rare Scimitar Oryx, which formerly inhabited the whole of North Africa and has been classified as extinct in the wild. For those who want something more comfortable, we offer a luxurious Family Suite with swimming pool at your doorstep. Dinner is provided on request - so come and enjoy friendly Kalahari hospitality. 200 km from Upington 90 km from Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park 43 km from Askham (nearest town with Clinic and local grocery store)

The semi-desert of epic proportions spans not only across the borders of three countries, but the imagination of those who have traveled here - and those desiring to do so. Derived from the Tswana word Kgala meaning 'great thirst', or Kgalagadi meaning ' water-less place', the Kalahari is a vast space of red dunes, salt pans and thorn tree scrub. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (90 km from Loch Maree Guest Farm) is one of the largest National Parks in the world, its 38 000 km² landmass larger than many countries.
