Botswana Parks
Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the Botswana & Namibia guide.
Khutse Game Reserve borders the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and is part of the same environment. A lot of the bird species overlap, but the park is a lot easier to visit. The reserve is particularly good for raptors due to the plentiful numbers of small animals for them to feed on. Ostrich and kori bustard are common in the area and big flocks of sandgrouse come to drink at the water holes.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Khutse is a great reserve for bird watching year-round. However, the ideal time is from November to April, which are the wetter months. At this time, migrants are present, and many birds are breeding with some species such as the whydahs transforming their plumage from drab to spectacular. The best wildlife-viewing months are around the same time.
