Kalahari Game Reserve

After the summer rains arrive in the northern section of CKGR, from Deception Valley to Piper Pans, the vast plains burst with sweet grasses and it becomes one of the prime game-viewing areas in Botswana. Not many people seem to be aware of this and visitors are few.

Safari lodges based in various parts of the Kalahari often hire people of Bushman origin to guide visitors into the desert and to impart their wisdom of how to survive.

The Okavango Delta

The Okavango Delta is reputed to be the largest inland delta in the world. It offers great scenic beauty and sustains phenomenal numbers of wildlife, crocodile, hippo, water bucks and various fish species are among the many wild animals that could be viewed from safari vans and boats.

The meeting of dry land and wet land gives that breath-taking contrast, popularly referred to as the 'Jewel of the Kalahari'. With forests of palms, grasslands, islands, flood plains and lagoons to be seen, tourists seeking the pleasure of adventure are sure to have one of the best experiences of their life.

Botswana a hidden Land waiting for you to experience its Secrets

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) is the largest game reserve in the world, The clear blue sky fills with gigantic clouds and the stage is set for an amazing transformation. Into the scene enters thousands of gemsbok, springbok and wildebeest, with plentiful lion, cheetah and jackal in attendance. This gathering of animals is a sight to behold and can be compared with the Serengeti/Masai Mara migrations of Tanzania and Kenya.

Rainy season: Summer rains are expected to fall on northern CKGR between November and March, but as rainfall is erratic this is by no means certain. Rainstorms are frequent but fast and roads can become very muddy and a fully equipped 4x4 vehicle is essential.
Dry season: May to October is hot, dry and dusty in the Kalahari with little water and limited animals. October is the hottest month.
