Description
 

Come and experience the mystical Kalahari at Kanana Wilderness where the land stretches as far as the eye can see and the Bushmen have stalked game for untold generations. Our vast Private Game Reserve covers over 60 000 acres.

All the creatures of the Kalahari can be found here including large herds of eland, giraffe, zebra and gemsbok, predators such as leopard, cheetah and wild dog, nocturnals such as aardvark and bat eared fox, birds such as the bateleur , kori bustard and secretary birds, reptiles such as leopard tortoise and snakes and a healthy and growing white rhino population of which sightings can almost be guaranteed.

Motswiri Lodge is in the middle of the Reserve and offers luxury tented accommodation overlooking Seribe Pan in the shade of old leadwood trees.
It is said that “Africa always brings something new”. In the case of Kanana Wilderness the something new has been waiting for you for thousands of years!
