Central Kalahari Mobile Safari | Botswana Luxury Tented Safaris

Safari Itinerary

Central Kalahari Game Reserve, one of the more remote areas on this planet offers up miles and miles of pristine, glistening sand and dried up ancient river beds. An area of complete isolation that only sees a handful of visitors every year.

A short 4-day safari takes one to the scorched earth of the Kalahari offering up desert wildlife including desert lions, leopards, meerkats, gemsbok, springbok and wildebeest. All within the luxury of a private mobile safari experience, experience Africa as it once was.

A great book to read before embarking on this safari is "The Cry of the Kalahari" by Mark and Delia Owens.
