In the middle of Botswana lies the heart of the Kalahari - a flat sea of sand in a dry and featureless world. But within this monotomy a wealth of wildlife and breathtaking landscapes awaits discovery. This expansive landscape has always held a magnetic attraction for man, and since the middle of the 19th century explorers have been drawn here, searching for undiscovered wealth.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Established in 1961 this massive reserve covers some 52,000km (20 000 sq miles), just slightly smaller than the combined size of Holland and Belgium. But, unlike other reserves which are usually set aside to protect animals, this area was originally intended as a sanctuary for its human inhabitants - it was the last domain of the nomadic Bushmen. Until recently there were still a few small groups of these remarkable Stone Age people wandering through the wastes of the southern reserve, completely unaware of the encroaching 'civilized' world.
