Intoduction1

A short Exploration that provides an exceptional and unique Kalahari Desert experience as well as glimpse into the culture of the San people.
Habitat is entirely different and desert-adapted species not present in other areas (such as springbok, gemsbok and red hartebeest) may be easily seen in the central Kalahari.

 

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve, one ofthe largest protected areas in Africa, is seemingly lifeless, yet provides sightings of thriving herds of springbok and gemsbok and the iconic black-maned lion. Thanks to its habitat diversity, healthy game populations move through the area and are present to a greater or lesser degree all year long. In the summer months the desert comes to life with huge convergences of plains game such as springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest coming to feed, followed by predators such as lion and cheetah. Exploring the Kalahari unlocks the fascinating wildlife treasures found in this wonderful area with excellent cheetah viewing a regular feature. San Bushman experiences provide insights into the unique culture of this fascinating people. A three-night stay here provides a perfect contrast to the Okavango and Linyanti regions and rounds off the diversity of northern Botswana

BRIEF ITINERARY:
Days 1: Depart by road from Maun to Deception Valley Lodge.
Days 2 & 3: Game transfer to Kalahari Plains Camp, Central Kalahari Game Reserve.

Please note: This short, exciting Kalahari safari is also recommended as a contrasting add-on to Migration Routes or a lodge-based itinerary through the Okavango and Linyanti
