Trip Notes

Situated 300km south-west of Maun and just north of the Trans-Kalahari highway, which runs from Lobatse in Botswana to Walvis Bay in Namibia, this small town is sometimes referred to as the 'Capital of the Kalahari'. This is the administrative center of Ghanzi district which covers a vast area of cattle ranches and farmland in the west of Botswana. Although Ghanzi is close to the Trans-Kalahari highway it only has a few shops, a bank and only one filling station. Ghanzi does, however, have a good butchery and two large supermarkets. The Ghanzi area has a number of lodges which focus on cultural tourism as well as wildlife viewing - here you can experience the fascinating world of the San (Bushmen) as they explain to you how they forage, hunt and find water in this harsh environment.
