Upscale, private accommodations that offer you a true African safari feeling and atmosphere right in the heart of our 31,000 acres of huntable land.
Africa under canvas
just how a safari is meant to be!
Mention the word “safari” and centuries old images of canvas tents and rickety cots come to mind. Not with us, you'll experience Africa under our comfortable dare we say luxurious canvas tents, just how a safari is meant to be!
We believe in providing an ethical, classic and unforgettable safari to our clients. Thus the reason we took advantage of the pause during a global pandemic to build a brand new, classic tented safari camp in the Kalahari.
Each of our four canvas tents sits under an ancient 'Camel Thorn' acacia tree, overlooking a waterhole where significant numbers of game come on a daily basis. Each features a fully functional en-suite bathroom!
With the combination of today's luxuries and a style from the early days, you will surely experience the romance of a true African Safari.
"It is our goal to offer truly bespoke hunting experiences, personalized…customized and never ever “commercial”. No big, overcrowded hunting lodge. No scores of people. Your hunt. Your Lodge. Your safari."
- Schalk Pienaar
The heart of Schalk Pienaar Safaris is our 31,000 acre ranch, teeming with over 30 plains game and dangerous game animals. From here, destination hunts to the Caprivi Strip or Botswana can be planned on the 250,00 additional acres we have exclusive access to.
