Central Kalahari Game Reserve

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve, located in Botswana, is one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas, spanning about 52,800 square kilometers. It features expansive, semi-arid plains, sparse vegetation, and seasonal waterways, supporting a diverse range of wildlife like lions, cheetahs, antelopes, and meerkats. The reserve is home to indigenous San people, who traditionally hunt and gather in the area. It plays a vital role in conservation, offering a sanctuary for many species and illustrating the delicate balance between nature and human activity. Despite its remote and harsh environment, it is a vital part of Botswana’s ecological and cultural heritage.
