On the 8,000 ha reserve surrounding Auob Country Lodge, travellers can discover the many interesting adaptations that have allowed animals to better survive in the arid conditions of the Southern Kalahari. Game drives go places where drivers know that the animals will likely be found. The Kalahari has challenged African travellers for centuries, and all emerge from its dry reaches seeking refreshment. Auob Country Lodge specialises in Kalahari hospitality, an art refined over years of welcoming explorers and adventurers: an ice cold drink in the bar or lounge, a chance to wash away the heat and red Kalahari sand under a refreshing shower, or in the courtyard pool, plenty of shade from the bright, hot sun, and a friendly smile. |
