Botswana
Central Kalahari
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana is the largest, most remotely situated
reserve in Southern Africa, and the second largest wildlife reserve in the world, covering 52
800 square kilometres. Plains of waist-high golden grass stretch endlessly, scattered with
trees and scrub bushes. Wide, empty pans appear on vast white landscapes of levelled
earth, meeting the blue sky high above.
The reserve has one of the most unique bio diversities in southern Africa, including
concentrated populations of threatened species of animals such as the Brown Hyena and is
home to the black maned lion. During and shortly after good summer rains, the flat
grasslands in the north teem with wildlife which gather in the best grazing regions. These
include large herds of springbok and oryx, wildebeest, eland and giraffe.
