In the middle of the bush, in the middle of the desert. Anybody there, lions tracks beside your room. Unique.

The location and wildlife are a different kind of beauty to other parts of the country. It feels isolated and yet when you are quiet and interested, the area comes a live with all sorts of life forms. Life seems to move slower in the desert.

The CKGR is a difficult safari destination, requiring many hours on rough roads. Thus, it feels truly wild. You must stay on your toes here!

Big game, bigger sky
The CKGR is a magnificent park! Right in the heart of Botswana, this enormous reserve is home to the finest of southern Africa's wildlife, and provides an unparalleled bush experience.
My fellow travelers and I drove down from Maun, and left the grid and pavement behind very quickly. With limited paved roads and power lines, it's a real pleasure to arrive at a beautiful lodge nestled into the softly graded terrain. Botswana's national emphasis on quality over quantity is abundantly apparent in their approach to tourism, and I felt that my money was very well spent.
I saw my very first lion hunt in the CKGR, and am inspired to return again to enjoy seemingly endless game drives under the enormous sky - bright day, or brilliant night.

An incredible unique experience.
Visiting the Central Kalahari Game Reserve was a unique, incredible and irreplaceable experience. It was incredible to see the nature and scenery that the area had to offer and I would gladly return anytime.
