Khutse Game Reserve
Established in 1971, the Khutse Game Reserve encompasses 965
square miles (2,500km²) of semi-arid Kalahari bush savanna in the
Bakwena tribal lands. Boreholes have been sunk into this undulating
terrain to provide more water and encourage wildlife to stay in the
area year-round. Visitors are now drawn to this undeveloped
wilderness to see a wide range of herbivores including giraffe,
gemsbok and wildebeest, as well as predators such as lion, leopard
and cheetah, and birdlife ranging from wild ostriches to little
browns. Visitors may only camp in areas marked as campsites and
there are no other tourist facilities available in the reserve.

Money

divided into 100 Thebe. The word 'Pula' means rain and 'Thebe'
means shield. The shield appears on the national coat of arms.
Major credit cards are widely accepted, and travellers cheques and
foreign currency are accepted at most large hotels and lodges.
There are banks and exchange bureaux in all the main towns, as well
as ATM machines. Surcharges are often high on travellers cheques,
and it is best to carry cheques in US Dollars or Pounds
Sterling.
