Botswana Kalahari Concession

7 Day Safari

Safari only available from December – April

The Kalahari Concession lies in the southwest of Botswana and borders on the South, South Eastern part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park ( Mabuasehube national park ) and is one of the last great unfenced wilderness areas in Southern Africa. Roughly 800 people live in a few small villages. There are two major ethnic groups; the Bakgalagadi and Basarwa or San. The latter lives here for 3 000 years. Vast herds of game can still be seen in typical Kalahari veld with rolling grass plains and Acacia woodland. The area is dotted with pans (dry lakes) which fill up with water after good rains in summer and attract large herds of eland, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest, some predators and many birds. Over 50 species of raptors have been recorded here. Kaa Concession is of ecological importance as it is the migratory corridor between the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Central Kalahari Reserve.
