The Kalahari Circuit

Overview

This 10-night itinerary (6 nights lodging & 5 nights camping) allows you to see parts of the Kalahari that many don't. It's a wonderful trip for clients returning to Botswana looking for something a bit different and also amazing. It's also a route we promote going from January to March so you can see Nxai Pan's annual Zebra Migration. This is still considered low season, so you can travel for a fraction of the price! It's also works well for those in the northern hemisphere who would like to get some winter sun.
