Situated in the heart of Botswana, the CKGR is vast. It is a semi-desert with much of it covered in acacia scrub together with a series of open pans. At first sight the CKGR can seem rather underwhelming. You come here for the wilderness experience, rather than expecting to see lots of wildlife. However the longer you stay, the more the CKGR works its magic on you, and you appreciate how special this wilderness is. You should see oryx, wildebeest and springbok, and if you’re lucky the famed black-maned lions and possibly cheetah. The smaller animals, such as the ground squirrels and bat-eared foxes, are fascinating to watch and we’ve had good sightings of honey badger and African wild cat.
Accommodation options include self-drive and camping, a mobile safari with a guide, and there are two upmarket lodges within the national park and a couple more on the park’s boundaries within private concessions. The lodges offer walking safaris and encounters with Bushmen, as well as game
The CKGR is best visited during February to May, during and after the rains, however there’s some wildlife year-round.
