Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Deception Valley

After breakfast and a short stop for any last-minute necessities, guests will depart Maun heading southwards to enter the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The following 3 nights’ stay in the park will solve some of the mysteries surrounding life in this arid region. The Kalahari and its adapted game and vegetation have succeeded in surviving the elements and their story is plain for those who wish to understand.

Predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena occur here as well as water independent antelope, such as Oryx and Springbok. The combination of Kalahari and Okavango on one safari will clearly illustrate the difference water makes to an area. The Kalahari is one of the remotest and most unspoilt areas of Africa, with a size of 52800kmsq
