Khutse Game Reserve

Khutse Game Reserve is found in Botswana, in the famed Kalahari region. It adjoins the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, sharing with it an unfenced northern border. The reserve is made up of pans, dried riverbeds, rolling grasslands, and savannah habitat. Wildlife congregate in large numbers around the pans, and visitors can expect to see, among others, giraffe, wildebeest, gemsbok, springbok, jackal and kudu, as well as many predators, including lion, cheetah, leopard, and brown hyena, an endangered specie. The reserve is located relatively close to the capital of Botswana, Gaborone, and has several excellent driving routes winding through the reserve. This makes it a perfect weekend self-drive safari destination. One can stop at the town of Molepolole, known as the “gateway to the Kalahari”, and also visit the San and Bakgalagadi villages located on the outskirts of the reserve.
