Central Kalahari Game Reserve
At 20,380 square miles (52,800km²), the Central Kalahari Game
Reserve is larger than some European countries, such as Denmark or
Switzerland, and is bigger than Lesotho and Swaziland put together!
Indeed, the reserve is the second largest game reserve on earth and
its sand dunes, saltpans, riverbeds, mopane forests and vast open
plains are home to an array of fascinating wildlife species, as
well as settlements of local Basarwa or San tribes - an exciting
combination of both environmental and cultural experiences for
visitors.

foreign currency are accepted at most large hotels and lodges.

as ATM machines. Surcharges are often high on travellers cheques,
