Dominating central Botswana, the five million-hectare Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the biggest protected areas in Africa. A place that may seem barren at first sight is in fact home to a full spectrum of plants and animals, as well as people (the ancient San or Bushman clans).
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is a vast expanse of scrub-covered fossil dunes and ancient river valleys and has a fascinating spectrum of very different plants and animals. With the rains (Nov-April), the desert comes to life, with large herds of plains game followed by their predators, producing some of the best summer wildlife viewing in Botswana.
