This Central Kalahari safari is Located in the wild heart of the Kalahari and covering an immense 52,800 km², this wildlife Safari paradise is the largest game reserve in Botswana. This Wild African Safari Adventure  makes this bush Safari and wilderness experience an adventure of  a life time.

Due to the vast extent of this Botswana area, our expedition concentrates mainly on the northern part of the reserve where most of the game is found. This is an unforgettable bush and wilderness experience.

The region is best visited after the summer rains, when migration scenes reminiscent of the Serengeti are possible. (Note: Rainfall in this area is very erratic, therefore large congregations of wildlife cannot be guaranteed.) Roads can, however, be impassable after heavy rainfalls, so we advise rather visiting the region between March and October.

Visit places of interest with colourful names like Deception Valley, Passarge Valley, Sunday Pan, Tau Pan and Pipers Pan. These valleys and pans are evidence of an ancient, wetter era. The Kalahari consists of a sediment-formed basin covered by younger basaltic lavas, filled with windblown sands. The presence of large fossil riverbeds adds to the ancient aura and timeless desolation of the region. Vegetation is mainly 'sandveld scrub' and Acacia woodland.

Itinerary

Day 1:
Depart Cape Town or Johannesburg and head north or north -west across the South African Border and into the Heart of the Kalahari. On the First Night guests will sleep in South Africa just outside the Botswana Border.

Day 2: South Africa - Botswana
Today the Central Kalahari Safari departures to the Kalahari, passing the Capital of Botswana Gaborone and heads for Planet Baobab LodgePlanet Baobab is situated on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, 5km (3.1 miles) from Gweta on the Francistown side of the turn-off and on the Francistown-Maun road. Spend the day Travelling to the Lodge Optional night game drive and early morning walk. * Lunch and dinner included.

Day 3: Planet Boabab Lodge as a Base
Planet Baobab is a traditionally styled mud Kalanga and Bushmen grass hut village shaded by giant baobab trees, whose average age is 4 000 years old. Baobab presents an accessibly priced Makgadikgadi experience which provides an opportunity for guests to learn more about Botswana's culture and traditions, and the intriguing geological origins of the Makgadikgadi Pans.

Activities include tracking the elusive Elephant, visiting stone tool sites of early man as well as guided walks from Planet Baobab - introducing you to the cleverly adapted fauna and flora of the Kalahari Desert.

Planet Boabab has been designed to appeal to all ages from bush-mad families, local people, nomadic travellers and adventurous senior citizens, whom are obviously treated with special respect, as is the African tradition. Planet Baobab is situated on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, 5km (3.1 miles) from Gweta on the Francistown side of the turn-off and on the Francistown-Maun road. The Planet Baobab camp is accessible all year round by two 4x4 wheel drive vehicles. There is an airstrip nearby (Gweta) which can be used for a 45 minute air transfer from Maun. Planet Baobab is 9 hours from Johannesburg, 4 hours from Kasane and 2 hours from Maun. Planet Baobab is located close to the village of Gweta, (also charmingly known as ' The Place of the Bullfrogs'), on the Francistown-Maun road and sheltered by a grove of gigantic baobabs.

Planet Baobab is built next to a natural spring that retains water throughout the year. Located a mere 4km (2.4 miles) from a village, the birdlife is surprisingly good and during the dry season the pan is frequented by Elephant, Kudu and other small denizens of the desert. However, the experience offered here is not really about game and is definitely not a Big Five experience. It is all about the pans, their fascinating geological origins, adventure and cultural tradition.Spend the day searching for game. Optional night game drive and early morning walk. * Breakfast, Lunch and dinner included.
