Day 1

Hello CKGR

Hello CKGR

The departure from Maun to the destination camp (Deception valley) in CKGR will be on an early morning. The 316km journey will be done on a safari vehicle which will allow perfect viewing of the flat grasslands. The wildlife in this area includes springbok and gemsbok, as well as wildebeest, hartebeest, eland and giraffe. At other times of the year, when the animals are more sparsely distributed, the experience of travelling through truly untouched wilderness, of seemingly unending dimensions, is amazing.

Upon arrival at camp you will be welcomed with lunch and an afternoon siesta. An evening and sunset game drive
around deception valley will be in order and upon return to the camp guest will be treated to a hot camp shower before proceeding to dinner around a campfire. Guests will then retreat to their tents equipped with a stretcher bed, a veranda and an attached bathroom with flush-able toilet, shower and sink.

Main Destination:
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Best Time To Visit December to March (Best in Deception Valley)
High Season July to October (The park rarely gets crowded)
Best Weather May to August (Dry and less hot)

Good day in the Kalahari

Good day in the Kalahari

Rise and shine and say hello to a fresh morning over coffee/tea and rusks for a morning game drive to Sunday Pan waterhole and have brunch at Passarge Valley. Under the dense umbrella thorn Acacia tortillas thickets where cheetahs and lions rest up in the midday heat. CKGR also boasts an amazing variety of birds, believe: Secretary bird, Kori Bustard and
Ostrich is the most prominent of the species to be spotted, with good chances of seeing Lappet-faced Vulture and White-backed Vulture too. Our exploration will continue along this amazing landscape in search of its beauties. The final leg of the morning drive will take us back through Leopard Pan to arrive at camp for lunch and enjoy an afternoon siesta. After a well-deserved rest we will depart for an evening game drive to Deception Pan where we will enjoy a great sunset. Once the sun goes down we will head back to camp.

Day 3-4

Hello Nxai Pan

Hello Nxai Pan

On this exciting morning, camp will be taken down and ready to move to Nxai pans. We will head out on our safari vehicles on a leisurely drive to our next camp. This will be your last chance to take in the last views of the Kalahari Game Reserve in all its glory. We will break off for a light lunch after our journey to the Nxai Pans and make some rounds in search of some animals, passing through lagoons and pools along the river channels as well as flat plains. We will then make our way back late afternoon to camp as we reflect on our sightings at camp. Upon arrival, we will freshen up and there after do camp activities depending on timing (this ranges from traditional cooking master classes to playing some traditional games like morabaraba). You will then be treated to a hot shower in the privacy of your in-suite tent and proceed to enjoy your campfire dinner.
