Ghanzi

Situated 300 kilometres southwest of Maun and just north of the Trans-Kalahari highway, which runs from Lobatse in Botswana to Walvis Bay in Namibia, the small town of Ghanzi is sometimes referred to as the ‘Capital of the Kalahari’. This is because it serves as the administrative centre of the Ghanzi district, which covers a vast area of cattle ranches and farmland in the west of Botswana. The Ghanzi area has several lodges that focus on cultural tourism as well as wildlife viewing. You can experience the fascinating world of the San Bushmen as they explain how they forage, hunt and find water in this harsh environment.
