点评:A truly unique and memorable stay at this wilderness camp! I was nervous about staying here as I heard the 4x4 road to the camp could be tricky, but our Hilux drove it easily and it was one of the most scenic drives we had in the KTC. We got lucky with the weather when we stayed as it was the only day under 35 degrees during our 2 week trip, and I think we might have struggled during the day if it was any hotter as the camp is quite exposed. At night though, the temperature drops and as you're in a canvas tent, you actually feel quite cold! We loved it during the summer, but it must get really cold at night during the winter months (we did find extra blankets in the room).
Our tent was small, but very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is not connected and a short walk away, but is private. There wasn't much storage space in the room, but we only took an overnight bag and left everything else in the car so that wasn't an issue. It's a shared kitchen, but you do get your own fridge. The fridge was really cold, which I know is an obvious thing to say - but at Mata Mata, Kalahari Tented Camp, and Nossop, the fridges really struggled to stay cool.
You do really get to know the other guests here as it's a communal kitchen and dining area (and the tent canvas is thin!) but the other people we stayed with were lovely and considerate so again, we were lucky.
The camp manager told us some fantastic stories about animals in camp, and we are still talking about the video he showed us of the honey badger in the kitchen bin! He also showed us the leopard and brown hyena spoor around camp. One of our most memorable moments of our KTC trip was watching the camp manager run out of his cabin to catch a cape cobra that was getting a bit close for comfort! He showed it to us (a very impressive snake!) and then walked off and let it go much further up the hill and made sure it slithered away from camp.
We didn't see much at the waterhole (lit at night) but loved watching the oryx and ostrich over the pan. We wished we could have stayed longer.

我们的帐篷虽小,但非常干净、舒适。浴室不相连,距离酒店仅几步之遥,但属于私人浴室。房间里没有太多的存储空间,但我们只带了一个旅行包,把其他东西留在车里,所以这不是问题。这是一个共用厨房,但你有自己的冰箱。冰箱真的很冷,我知道这是显而易见的事情 - 但在马塔马塔、卡拉哈里帐篷营地和诺索普,冰箱真的很难保持凉爽。
你确实可以认识这里的其他客人,因为这是一个公共厨房和用餐区(帐篷帆布很薄!),但与我们住在一起的其他人都很可爱且体贴,所以我们再次感到幸运。
营地经理给我们讲了一些关于营地里动物的奇妙故事,我们还在谈论他向我们展示的厨房垃圾箱里的蜜獾的视频!他还向我们展示了营地周围的豹子和棕色鬣狗的足迹。 KTC 之旅中我们最难忘的时刻之一就是看着营地经理跑出他的小屋去捕捉一条离我们很近的眼镜蛇,以求安慰!他向我们展示了它(一条非常令人印象深刻的蛇!),然后走开,让它爬上山更远的地方,并确保它滑离营地。
我们在水坑里没有看到太多东西(晚上有灯光),但喜欢在平底锅上观看羚羊和鸵鸟。我们希望我们能停留更长时间。
