Tour Kgalagadi ,Okavango and Kalahari

Your journey continues to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the second-largest game reserve in the world. This remote and pristine area offers a stark contrast to the lush delta, with its semi-arid desert landscapes. Over two days, you’ll explore this vast wilderness on game drives, searching for the unique wildlife that thrives in the harsh conditions, including the famous Kalahari lions, oryx, and meerkats. The nights in the Kalahari offer some of the best stargazing opportunities, as the clear skies reveal the brilliance of the African night.

From the Kalahari, you’ll head to the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park and Nxai Pan, two areas known for their surreal landscapes. Spend two days exploring the expansive salt pans, remnants of an ancient lake that now host a unique ecosystem. Depending on the season, you may witness the incredible migration of zebra and wildebeest or the arrival of flamingos at the pans. The mysterious baobabs and the shimmering horizon create an otherworldly atmosphere that is both haunting and beautiful.

Your adventure takes a turn towards the mystical Kubu Island, a granite outcrop in the middle of the vast Makgadikgadi Pans. This sacred site of the indigenous people is dotted with ancient baobab trees and surrounded by the stark white of the salt pans. Over two days, you’ll explore the island’s rugged terrain, learn about its cultural significance, and enjoy the solitude and silence that make it a place of reflection. Sunsets here are particularly breathtaking, with the island casting long shadows over the pans.

The final leg of your safari brings you to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, a rugged and remote area that spans Botswana and South Africa. Over two days, you’ll experience the park’s unique desert environment, characterized by red sand dunes and sparse vegetation. Game drives here offer the chance to see the famous black-maned Kalahari lions, as well as cheetahs, hyenas, and various antelope species. The harsh beauty of the Kgalagadi is a fitting end to your Botswana safari, leaving you with memories of Africa’s wild heart.

On your final day, you’ll bid farewell to the wilderness and return to Gaborone for your departure. Reflect on the incredible experiences and the diverse landscapes you’ve explored over the past 12 days, from the lush waterways of the Okavango Delta to the stark beauty of the Kalahari and the mystical allure of Kubu Island. Your journey through Botswana will undoubtedly leave you with a deep appreciation for the natural world and the timeless beauty of Africa.
