The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is best visited in the summer months when the rain falls, as the Kalahari landscape turns green with lush grass and becomes one of the
prime game-viewing areas in Botswana with beautiful skies and an abundance of birds, plus thousands of springbok & gemsbok along with predators and their cubs. There are only 2 private camps inside the park and then a couple outside of the Central Kalahari Reserve. The western town of Ghanzi is also located in the Kalahari region and is ideal for 1, 2, or 3 night stop-overs en-route to Namibia or the northern parts of Botswana from South Africa. African Bundu Safaris recommends some great safari camps and lodges for Kalahari wildlife & San Bushmen experience, though non are ultra-luxury safari lodges. Have a look at our selection of safari camps and lodges, possibly rated between 1 and 4 star - however, you go there to experience the wide open spaces, the awesome wildlife and starry night-skies. The cooler winter months from May to August, can get to freezing during the darks hours of the morning, so come prepared with warm clothing for early morning game drives and after sunset.
