More about the location
This remote game reserve is located in the middle of Botswana, a boondock in South Africa. It is set at the heart of the Kalahari desert, about two hundred kilometers south of Maun, the getaway to the Okavango Delta.
The northern part of the adventure destination has dunes covered with grass ad vary of wild trees and shrubs. The central region is a flat bushveld dotted with thorny trees and low shrubs. Meanwhile, the southern part of the game reserve is more wooded. The flat plains have a sight to behold: the four fossil valleys formed from rivers that ran dry thousands of years ago. However, these wide valleys consist of salt pans stretching out stark white under the glistening big blue skies.
