Carolyn and Florence travelled to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana
Rob, we just wanted to let you know that we had such a wonderful and exciting time in S Africa, Botswana. We enjoyed the camps we stayed at, each offering a different perspective of Africa. We can’t sneeze at 6 leopard sitings, cheetahs, lions, giraffe’s mating and the list goes on and on and on. Nottens and Shinde were especially special. Chase, at Nottens is an amazing person. So knowledgable and you could tell that he enjoys his life as it is in his part of the world. Our accomodations were EXCELLENT!…..And the food! Oh my! SO DELICIOUS! We shall never forget such a wonderful experience and we both thank you so much for taking care of every detail. Florence and I will be contacting you about a return trip in 2014.

Regions
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve
The Central Kalahari is an area of semi-desert, where trees, bushes and grass do exist within an otherwise hostile desert environment. This allows a variety of birds and animals to exist, including the rare brown hyaena, meerkat, oryx, giraffe, zebra, bat-eared fox, jackal, springbok, red haartebeest, lion, cheetah, caracal and leopard.
The region is best visited during the ‘green’ season from November to March/April, when game concentrates on the various open ‘pans’ within the reserve. During the dry season, the landscape is harsh, and game is more spread out (especially the late dry season from August to October). However recently introduced ‘pumped’ waterholes will become focal drinking spots during these drier months, and should improve game-viewing.
