Day 5: While enjoying breakfast, we'll have a view of the nearby waterhole where animals will be coming and going. After breakfast we will undertake a safari drive to one of the nearby saltpans. Like every other day we'll be delighted to introduce you to the secrets of the Bushmen's healing plants when we find something interesting. Break in the afternoon. We go on a game drive in the evening. Enjoy supper around the fire under the magnificent African stars and listen to what's going on in nature around us. |

 TOUR 5: MabuasehubeKalahari-Safari This route leads us into a remote area of the Kalahari Desert. You will be one of only a few visitors who will get the chance to see this unique and very beautiful wildlife reserve. The Mabuasehube Game Reserve is next to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. There are no fences between the parks. The game can migrate freely along the natural trails. This means that large quantities of game can be found in this area. Due to the presence of abundant prey, the predators are not too far. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, spotted and brown hyenas, lynx and wildcats. Tour Program Day 1: We leave Upington early in the morning, and drive via Twee Rivieren - entrance gate to the Kgalagadi National Park - across the border to Botswana and drive up to Rooiputs. Here, in the wild, we set up camp. Facilities in all Botswana camps are very basic. Each campsite has an A-frame shade construction, long drop toilet, mostly NO water. We camp in the wilderness of the Kalahari with NO protective fencing. Nothing to worry about though, as you'll have a well-experienced tour guide who can handle the situation. Enjoy dinner around the fire while listening to the typical Kalahari nocturnal sounds. Don’t be surprised if you hear the call of a Kalahari lion, hyena or black-backed jackal during the night. Overnight stay: Camping at Rooiputs (limited water) Meals: Dinner Day 2: Morning safari at sunrise. After breakfast and after breaking up camp, our expedition leads us further to Nossob Camp. You can spend the afternoon on your own. You can feel free to visit the small but very interesting museum at Nossob. OPTIONAL: Participate in a night game drive with spotlight, organised by the park authorities. Overnight stay: Camping at Nossob (fully equipped camp) Meals: Full board Day 3: After breakfast our challenging expedition really starts! Through heavy terrain we proceed with our 4x4 vehicles to Matopi, deep in the Kalahari. In the middle of nowhere we set up camp somewhere in the shade. During our trip we will see many interesting things. Overnight stay: Camping at Matopi (limited water) Meals: Full board Day 4: After awakening in the morning we will search the area for footprints to see who our visitors was during the night! The 4x4 route will lead us further to the Mabuasehube Game Reserve. We will report to the ranger on duty, who will certainly welcome company. He will give us some useful information as where to find interesting game. We set up our camp on the edge of a big saltpan. This will be our base for the next 2 days. Overnight stay: Camping at Mabuasehube Game Reserve (water available) Meals: Full board |
