Kalahari Monate Lodge | Established Campground

Nice enough campsite with good facilities. The only issue for me was the lack of privacy between pitches. But still, a nice place for a stopover.

As previously described nicely spaced camping areas, on dirt to the east and grass to the west. Power, braai and stone table and chairs at each pitch. Central shower/toilet block. Extremely friendly weaver birds and passing mongooses and there is a herd of springbok wandering freely in the cottage area (but fenced off from the campsite).

Very good wifi but subject to load shedding at inconvenient times.
R400 for 2 persons and a camper. A little pricey but worth it for the friendly wildlife.

We came back here after 4 years. It remains the same charming and inviting camp.
As a truck this time we only used the side gate.

We’ve always stayed here en route to the Kgalagadi, as most people do, although nothing’s changed the grounds look tired. Ablutions are good. We only stayed one night and moved to another camp ground

Arrived midday, super hot, let in telephonically by very pleasant lady.

Unfortunately, the grass hadn't been cut after recent rains, and we were attacked by mosquitoes relentlessly as we were trying to set up. After a look at the highly anticipated pool, we were disappointed, as it was green and murky. We decided to leave and rather drove the further 250 km to Kgalagadi.

Could be a great site, but maintenance seems to be lacking at the moment.

Coming from Namibia. Paid 180 ppn. Free wifi everywhere in the campsite, shade, clean ablutions with great hot shower. No beer for sale, noise from the road and electric plugs at camping spots are only for trailers! No regular South African plug for recharging cellphones, fridge, etc... Pleasant for one night.

We stayed here to get our PCR-test for Namibia. The campsite is just outside Upington before you enter the desert. There is a swimmingpool with a big slide.
In the surrounding fields are some gazelles.
Upington has some 4x4 stores. 4x4 Mega World (Midas), Safari Center.

We paid ZAR520 camping for two adults and two children.

Big campground with sandy, spacious sites and some shading trees. Very relaxing. Free wifi, Picnic tables, braai, water and electricity at the site, clean restrooms. Wind might be a problem in the open area. The noise from the road is ok.

Very nice campsite on your way to or from Kgalagadi NP. Grass, Pool, a lot of natural shade and very clean ablutions. Very friendly reception. In the upcoming months they are planning to open a little cafe and add a playground for kids. Unfortunately there is no fix date yet though. Reliable and fast Wifi all over the campsite.

Monate lodge
Just outside upington and on the road to Namibia. Half the stands are Grassy stands and 70% have trees and shade. The pool is clean and functioning well. The area was today and well looked after. The ablutions worked and not and cold water and a decent wash up area. Reception was friendly and registration was fast. WiFi worked throughout the campsite area and each site has concrete garden table and benches, with own braai area and light and electricity. All worked. Springbok walking in between the campsite with tortoises and chickens visiting now and then. A good stop

Have been here many times in the past. Perfect overnight to Namibia or Kgalagadi. Latest add-on is fast wifi.

Great stopover. Shade and a few sites with grass. Sadly some genetically altered Springbok live with the sheep in adjacent field. Slow but usable MTN signal.
