DAY 1 – 2: KWANDO TAU PAN CAMP, CENTRAL KALAHARI GAME RESERVE
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Miles and miles of grassland, a true wilderness.
Activities
Game Drives – Day |
San Bushman Cultural Walks |
Game Drives – Day
Game drives are undertaken in custom designed 4×4 Toyota Land cruiser game viewing vehicles seating no more than six guests at a time in two rows of three seats. Guests are guided by a two person team of professional guide and tracker – a special feature of the Kwando Safaris wildlife experience.
The two person team enables the guide to communicate points of interest and the complex interrelations that exist throughout the natural world, while the tracker ensures no sightings or tracks are missed. At Tau Pan, the tracker comes from the San Bushman tribe, a tribe that has traditionally lived in the Kalahari desert for generations and is intimately acquainted with the area and wildlife that is endemic to the Kalahari.
San Bushman Cultural Walks
Walking with a member of the San Bushman tribe allows guests to appreciate how the tribe used to live off the land through traditions and skills passed from generation to generation. Conducted close to the camp area, the walk is conducted at a slow pace designed to allow engagement and question asking so that guests may better understand the nature of the bushman to the environment around them.
Knowledge about how they would hunt, trap animals, and the manner in which they use the flora and fauna in their environment to help them survive are all shared with guests. Questions are always welcome!
