Highlights of the Kalahari safari

Apart from having the privilege of meeting one of Africa’s oldest cultures, you’ll go on walks and game drives too. Together we’ll learn the survival and hunting skills which have been passed down through generations. And, discover how the San people have adapted their lives in order to survive one of the most harsh environments in the world.

• Day and night game drives with tracker and guide. The night safaris showcase a world of nocturnal species while the extensive network of tracks within the reserve are great for game drives. The Kalahari sand is perfect for tracking wildlife
• …we’re also on the look out for the Kalahari lion, cheetah, giraffe, leopard and kudu. (The somewhat elusive brown hyena has also been spotted in the vicinity)
• Deception Valley is great for bird lovers. It’s a birding paradise during Botswana’s green season from November to March.
• We also do bush walks with San Bushman hunters
• 3 nights all inclusive accommodation at the luxurious Deception Valley Lodge. An oasis in the Kalahari of Botswana, close to the Okavango Delta
• swimming pool
• sleep outs under the stars

Best time to join Bushman Kalahari safari

• A year round destination. You’ll find wildlife throughout the year but it’s best in the wet season.
• April to October – dry and cooler
• November to March – very hot, wet and green. Wetter months but best for wildlife. The animals tend to gather around Deception Valley. It’s also the best time for birding with raptors and migrants.
