Days 1-4: Johannesburg to Mabuasehube

  • Departing Johannesburg at 06:30 am we head to the remote Mabuasehube which is part of the Kalahari Transfrontier Park and situated in the east of the park.
  • This area of the Kalahari Transfrontier Park comprises a series of huge pans, which are the principal focus of the reserve.
  • All of the major predators can be seen at Mabuasehube, including the Kalahari black-maned lion, cheetah, leopard, brown hyena, bat-eared fox, lynx, and silver fox.
  • Small mammals, like the Cape fox, aardwolf and black-footed cat can be seen at the pans in the evening.
  • Campsites dot the various pans, and many are situated on slight promontories, giving almost unimpeded vision, thus making for good game viewing right from your camp-side chair.
  • Wild Camping B-L-D

Days 5-7: Khutse Game Reserve

  • Khutse Game Reserve, situated on the southern boundary of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
  • The first night will be spent camping en route depending on progress made during the first day.
  • Khutse has plentiful wildlife, with the desert-adapted species in abundance.
  • These include springbok, gemsbok (oryx), giraffe, wildebeest, hartebeest & kudu.
  • These antelope are of course preyed upon by the large lion population, leopard and cheetah.
  • Three nights in Khutse to explore this out of the way game reserve on morning and afternoon game drives.
  • We will camp wild in unfenced campsites where there is an excellent chance of being visited by some of the nocturnal animals.

Days 8-12: Central Kalahari Game Reserve

  • The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is the largest and most reserve in Southern Africa (the second largest wildlife reserve in the world, encompassing 52 800 sq km).
  • Nothing prepares you for the immensity of this reserve or its wild, mysterious beauty.
  • There is an impression of infinite space, and having the entire reserve to yourself.
  • The roads are sandy and heavy going, so be prepared for some long travelling days, but this is more than worthwhile because of the fantastic environment that you are travelling through.
  • We journey through the Kalahari from south to north over a four day period camping wild en-route and staying in areas where the game viewing is best.
  • Wild Camping B-L-D
