On this 6 day Central Kalahari Safaris we will depart and return from Haina Safari Lodge in Central Kalahari, Botswana. We will journey into Botswana 's Central Kalahari National Park, the second largest national park in the world and the largest in Africa. Explore the area around Deception Valley, an ancient fossil river where game viewing is especially good as there are open plains and it is common to see very large herds of antelope. Sighting of predators is common as they lie in wait on the riverbanks, watching the antelope. Visit the camp site of Mark and Delia Owens, the author of the book cry of the Kalahari, we will learn more about their journeys in this fascinating region of Africa.

 

Roads are all dirt roads and you will be traveling in a 4x4 vehicle with a backup vehicle in attendance. The group will be accompanied by a driver, tracker, chef and field ranger. National park camp sites are used and on arrival your camp site will be set up for you. You will sleep in domed tents on padded stretchers. Top quality sleeping bags are provided. Safari chairs and table will be set out for your convenience. There is no water in the Kalahari so our safari group needs to bring in their own water. The ablution are all environmentally friendly units and are supplied by the National Park and portable bush showers are used. There is no electricity and your lights at night will be provided by candlelight and gas lanterns. All meals will be prepared on the camp fire by your chef.
