Frequently Asked Questions
What's the real draw of Nossob Premium Camps beyond its proximity to the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park?
We love that Nossob Premium Camps offers a truly immersive Kalahari experience. The camp itself feels luxurious and timeless, a welcome contrast to the rugged beauty outside, and the stargazing here is absolutely sensational, unlike anything we've seen elsewhere.
We're planning a trip in the shoulder season. When is the best time to visit Nossob Premium Camps for optimal wildlife viewing?
For the best wildlife encounters, we recommend visiting Nossob Premium Camps during the dry winter months, from May to September. The animals congregate around the few remaining waterholes, making them easier to spot, and the cooler temperatures make game drives far more comfortable.
What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see on a game drive originating from Nossob Premium Camps?
While the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park is famous for its gemsbok, we also love spotting springbok, hartebeest, and the occasional eland. Keep your eyes peeled for predators too; we've had incredible sightings of lions and cheetahs on drives from the camp, especially near the waterholes.
What are the accommodation and amenities like at Nossob Premium Camps, and what should we pack accordingly?
The chalets at Nossob Premium Camps are surprisingly comfortable and well-equipped, offering a welcome respite after a day in the desert. We suggest packing light, breathable clothing for the day, warmer layers for the cool desert nights, and of course, plenty of sunscreen and a good hat.
Are there any specific safety considerations we should be aware of when staying at Nossob Premium Camps?
Nossob Premium Camps is a safe and well-managed establishment. We always advise guests to stay within the camp boundaries after dark and to never approach wildlife, even within the camp itself. Listen to your guides; they are experts in navigating the Kalahari safely.
