Makgadigadi Pans,
Kalahari Desert
Private tour, departs daily.
Absolute Africa is proud
to offer a unique program that focuses on the traditional
cultural knowledge of the people of Botswana, and the
natural environment in which these people have lived
for thousands of years. Fly from Maun to the Makgadikgadi
National Park in the Kalahari Desert and stay in traditional
1940's-style tents. The nearby saltpans are the remains
of a vast saltwater lake; today, the grasslands provide
excellent game viewing in the wet season and the rare
opportunity to witness Southern Africa's last migration
of zebras. Spend four full days in the company of guides
who will introduce you to their wealth of traditional
knowledge. Learn about the geology of the region, predator-prey
relationships, and the hunting and water-sourcing techniques
of the local people. Try your hand at fashioning stone
tools and navigating without a compass. The crystal
clear nights are perfect for stargazing - your guides
will also teach you the major constellations that can
be seen in the thick carpet of stars that blanket the
sky each night. Activities include excursions on 4 x
4 quad bikes onto the saltpans, night game drives, and
game walks with bush trackers that will offer insight
into local tribal traditions and culture.
