Khutse and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve are typical Kalahari – rolling grasslands, dry river beds and of course plentiful wildlife. We explore the more arid areas of the little known Mabuesehube Game Reserve, before moving in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve – home of famous black maned Kalahari lions. The concept of this expedition is quite simple; we visit unusual destinations as a small group of travellers. There is one Afrikaya expedition leader who is an experienced guide. He/She knows how to run the operations of the tour, how to get through the borders, do the meal planning, keep the vehicle moving etc. However these are places that we seldom visit, and as such the expedition leader will not have detailed knowledge of every destination. Where bookings are required, we will make bookings in advance, but much of the itinerary will be flexible and final route will be at the discretion of the expedition leader and subject to road conditions. All participants on this expedition trips must understand this tour requires flexibility and an appreciation of the open style of travel.

  • Desert, Delta and Falls (Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe) - 52 Days
    Desert, Delta and Falls (Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe) - 52 Days Major Destinations Gaborone - Khama Rhino Sanctuary - Khutse Game Reserve - Central Kalahari Game Reserve - Makgadikgadi Pans National Park - Ntwetwe Pan - Sowa Pan - Nxai Pan National Park - Maun - Okavango Delta - Moremi Game Reserve - Savute - Linyanti - Chobe National Park - Livingstone - Victoria Falls - Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park - Zambezi National Park Tour Highlights and Activities In terms of the incredible diversity of wildlife and uniquely contrasting landscapes, this is one of my favourite trips and includes four of the most precious natural jewels in all of Africa, the Kalahari Desert, the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and the mighty Victoria Falls. It is difficult to imagine that the arid, pristine wilderness of the Kalahari and the lush, fertile waterways of the Okavango Delta can exist within less than 100km of each other, but we will experience both extremes during this trip, as well as huge concentrations of wildlife at Chobe National Park, one of the largest protected areas on the continent. The magical Cessna flight over the Okavango and the thrilling open microlight flight above Victoria Falls, are two of the more spectacular highlights of this unforgettable journey, but our adventure will produce a host of memories as we savour peaceful Makoro safaris through the myriad channels of the Okavango and a sunset cruise on the remarkably beautiful Zambezi. Other enthralling activities will include canoe trips among hippos and crocodiles, rewarding horseback safaris and the opportunity to swim just a few metres from the very edge of the immensely powerful 108m cascade of Victoria Falls.

So, a plan was put together for me to take her and a friend on a 10-day trip to Botswana, taking in as many of the highlights as possible. I would be taking them in the Camper, we would be off road as much as possible and they would be sleeping in their own tents, me in the Camper’s luxury.

    STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVES ON THE POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY-BASED ECOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT FOR THE KGALAGADI TRANSFRONTIER PARK IN BOTSWANA By NAOMI NOMSA MOSWETE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Naomi Nomsa Moswete 2 To the memory of my beloved parents: Morwadi and Botha Moatshe, and to my husband, Mokgweetsi for his constant love and support during my academic journey. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My study program was made possible by the generous support of many individuals and organizations, which aided and financed this research. I am particularly indebted to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation via Leadership Initiatives for Southern Africa (LISA) without whom I could not have embarked on and completed this project. The study is a contribution to the Foundation’s mission in support of the development of healthy and sustainable rural communities in Southern Africa. I am deeply indebted to the Kellogg Foundation, which played a key role in all stages of my doctoral program – from course work to field data collection and analysis. I extend my sincere appreciation to all staff at AED in Botswana (Imelda, Disa, Thandi, Moniemang), and those in Washington DC, for the invaluable support they granted me throughout my academic and spiritual journeys. I would like to express my profound gratitude to Viwe Mtshontshi and Phillip Hesser for the patience, cooperation and kind support accorded me throughout my doctoral study at the University of Florida. I also thank the University of Botswana, which played an important role throughout this program.
