The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is Botswana’s most iconic wilderness area and one of the largest game reserves in the world. Vast, remote, and breathtakingly beautiful, it stretches over 52,000 square kilometers of desert, grasslands, and salt pans. Here, the sense of space is overwhelming, and wildlife thrives in surprising abundance in one of Africa’s most challenging environments.
The Central Kalahari is a place for adventurers seeking solitude, unique landscapes, and intimate wildlife encounters. From predator-rich plains to secret waterholes, this reserve offers a safari experience like no other.
Unlike other parks, the Central Kalahari is sparsely populated, offering an authentic safari where the landscape dominates and wildlife appears in its own time.
See black-maned Kalahari lions, cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, gemsbok, springbok, and brown hyenas. The diversity and density of wildlife are remarkable given the arid environment.
