Loch Maree Farm was named by a Scottish surveyor, named Jackson, in the late 1800's - as are many farms in the Region. 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 birdlife. The Bush Camp without electricity offers 1 outdoor toilet and 2 showers that heat with fire and the Field Camp with electricity offers 4 outdoor toilets and showers. 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 a swimming pool at your doorstep - dinner is provided on request. The field campsite consists out of 2 huts each sleeps 7 and a Lapa that sleeps 4, where the kitchen and ablutions are situated. Campers pitch their tents around the Lapa and use its facilities. Wood is provided.
