Description
Motswiri Lodge Kanana Wilderness Ghanzi Botswana 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 lead wood 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!
Game Drives: There is an abundance of game in Kanana’s wilderness and our game drives give an unforgettable sense of the vastness and diversity of the Kalahari. Wilderness Walks: Walk through the Kalahari with a Bushmen guide who will interpret their world in their distinctive clicking tongue. Quad Biking: For the more adventurous, we offer the opportunity to spend time on a guided trail through the bush on our A TV. Bird Viewing: with our numerous hides, birdwatchers can sit for hours and see a vast array of colourful birdlife. Horse Riding: We have a herd of well schooled Boereperd horses to take you on outrides in the Kanana Wilderness. Rhino Stalking: Ger close to and approach these magnificent animals with a bushmen guide. Giraffe Stalking: You will discover how the Bushmen interpret the seemingly invisible clues left by the giraffe to enable you to get close to some of these majestic animals in their natural habitat.
The Kalahari is home to the Bushmen and they still practice their age old customs and dances although this is a fast vanishing art. We can offer an evening of bushmen singing, dancing and healing round the fire and although we live amongst the Bushmen even we rarely have more than a fleeting glimpse of their culture, for us to have this opportunity to see and experience this is a rare privilege, appreciated even by ourselves who are so close yet still so far.
We can organise a visit to the Groot Laagte, this permanent village has been developed by the Botswana Government to give the Bushmen the opportunity to access schools, health care and other basic services and is an integral part of the Botswana’s Government policy of assimilating the Bushmen into mainstream Botswana society.
Ideal for self drive clients our campsite incorporates a spick and span ablution block with hot and cold water and is situated in a beautiful part of the bush frequented by most of our raptor species. Firewood is supplied and meals are available if you so wish, so all you have to do is pitch your tent and enjoy the serenity of the Kanana Wilderness.
