Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Ghanzi District, central Botswana

Botswana Mid-range nature

The second-largest game reserve on Earth and its most otherworldly: fossil riverbeds (Deception Valley’s ancient pans), golden grass seas after rain, and black-maned Kalahari lions stalking springbok across nothing. Remote, empty, self-drive-friendly in the dry season — the anti-commercial safari.
