Central Kalahari Game Reserve - After breakfast, we will head to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, which spans 52,000 square kilometers. This area of vast open plains, salt pans, and ancient riverbeds is home to large herds of springbok, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, and the largest antelope, the eland. Made famous by Mark and Delia Owen in their book Cry of the Kalahari, we will camp here for two nights. During our stay, we will track the black-maned lion of the Kalahari. African wild dogs, cheetahs, and brown hyenas can also be found following their prey in this untamed wilderness.

Meerkats abound, and there is always a good chance of spotting brown hyenas and some unexpectedly good birdwatching opportunities.
