Days 1 to 3: Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Adventurous travellers seeking a truly remote African safari will be thrilled to discover it in central Botswana. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the second largest game reserve in the world and one of the least visited, nothing can prepare you for the sheer wonder of exploring this vast reserve with its wild, untouched beauty. The landscape is dominated by sand veld, acacias, and Kalahari apple-leaf, interspersed with grasslands and dotted with occasional sand dunes, pans and fossil river valleys. While the reserve is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, there is one animal that is rather obviously absent, the human being. It is this lack of human traffic, combined with the park’s lack of infrastructure, that makes for a challenging and marvellously authentic African experience. Visitors need to be entirely self-sufficient but those willing to make the effort will be richly rewarded.
Days 3 to 6: Private Kwara Reserve
Situated in the northern Okavango Delta in Botswana, the Private Kwara Reserve offers the ultimate Delta experience. Bordering the famous Moremi Reserve, visitors can look forward to exploring the river, the seasonal flood plains and the African bush wilderness. The reserve offers excellent access to the permanent waterways of the Delta as well as the expansive dry land areas. It is known for its predator sightings, where visitors can spot lion, cheetah, and even leopard. Don't miss the opportunity to view the vast herds of elephants that frequent the area, as well as zebra, giraffe, sitatunga, lechwe, hippo and impala.
