The Kalahari area is located in Southern Africa, covering parts of Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. This enormous area takes up over 350,000 square miles! With all that land, there are plenty of opportunities to experience a wild safari.

The best time to visit for a Safari is January through April. Safaris may be made by horseback, river boat, and guided vehicle. While traveling in any of these number of ways, there is ample opportunity to see tons of wild animals such as lions, cheetahs, elephants, wildebeests, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and zebras. The area is known to be a bird watcher’s paradise.

Tours are offered in various lengths and at an array of costs. It is fairly simple to find a tour to fit exactly what you’re looking for, especially with so many touring companies available in the area. Most safaris range from 4-14 days, but tours can also be custom built to fit your schedule. If you’re a hunter, hunting tours can also be arranged.

While it is possible to do a self-drive through the Kalahari, it is not the most recommended route due to safety concerns. Contact a local tour guide to start planning your unforgettable Kalahari safari!
