The Kalahari and Makgadikgadi

Original on transparent_edited (1).png

The Kalahari Desert and the Makgadikgadi Pans offer a unique safari and wildlife experience.

This vast and ancient expanse, which covers much of Botswana, is a captivating destination that offers a safari experience where a seemingly inhospitable landscape is home to a surprisingly diverse array of wildlife, including desert-adapted species such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, gemsbok, and springbok.


The Kalahari is also home to the San people, another one of the oldest cultures on Earth native to this region of Africa. With a deep understanding of the environment and a rich heritage of storytelling and traditional arts, the San offer visitors a unique opportunity to connect with the land and its people.
