For the Love of Africa
From custom-crafted artwork on the convention center walls to furniture in guest rooms, recorded music from the streets of Cape Town and original crafts for guest souvenirs, Kalahari has a passion for sharing the beauty of Africa with resort guests. To feel the energy of Africa and where our inspiration for Kalahari Resorts came from, we bring to you the Kalahari One World Tour – Africa.

For the Love of Water
Our pledge is to bring clean drinking water to one million people in Africa.
The Nelson family, founders, owners, and operators of Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, have been unwaveringly committed to enhancing the well-being of African communities through clean water initiatives for the past six years. They are dedicated to making the world a better place and passionate about creating opportunities that improve the lives of those in need. To expand their impact, they have made a long-term commitment to deliver clean water to one million people in Africa in partnership with charity: water.
For the Love of African Art
Kalahari Resorts and Conventions draws its inspiration from the rich cultures, people, art, and love of Africa. Each resort is thoughtfully adorned with African-sourced artwork, which tells a unique story of entrepreneurship—woven into every stitch, carved into every curve, and threaded through every bead. By supporting African artists, we contribute to the growth and empowerment of the communities that inspire us, fostering a cycle of creativity and opportunity that reflects our deep respect for the cultures and people who influence our vision.

Resort Artwork
Kalahari Resorts has invested in beautiful art, textiles, carvings, and more to support local African artists. This investment enriches the guest experience and honors the talented artisans who bring their unique cultural expressions to life.

Mandela Project
Kalahari Resorts is proud to be a sponsor of the Mandela Poster Project—a global tribute to the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela, created by nearly 100 artists from around the world. In 2015, we had the honor of hosting the North American debut of this powerful art exhibition, which is exclusively displayed at our Poconos resort.

Sculpting the Future
Sculpting the Future is a unique collection of authentic African hand-sculpted stone sculptures. These sculptures are available for purchase at Kalahari Resorts through the Nelson Family Life Foundation. The proceeds for these beautiful stone sculptures continue to impact the lives of others by helping them provide for their families and support providing access to clean water to communities in Africa.
