Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the Kalahari Desert of Botswana covers an area of 52,800 km², about twice the size of Massachusetts, making it the second largest game reserve in the world. This reserve is characterised by vast open plains, salt pans and ancient riverbeds. The land is mostly flat, and gently undulating covered with bush and grasses covering the sand dunes, and areas of larger trees. The park contains wildlife such as giraffe, brown hyena, warthog, cheetah, wild dog, leopard, lion, blue wildebeest, eland, gemsbok, kudu and red hartebeest. Bushmen have inhabited the Kalahari for thousands of years and dates back as far as the Stone Age. These bushman still live here roaming the territories as nomadic hunters.
