Overview:
Location and History of the CKGR
The cordon fence of the Kuke Veterinary is at the north of the Central Kalahari Reserve. In the south, we have the Khutse Game Reserve. Central Kalahari occupies 52,800-km² land. In 1971, the game was founded to safeguard its creatures, pans, and dry river valley. The San, who are orthodox hunters and gatherers, reside at central CKGR. From 1997 up to 2005, the Botswana government had forbidden the San from accessing the reserve. This could be due to the discovery of diamonds in the area. They set limitations for them to utilize the water source they had previously built and drill new ones in 2011. However, the Khutse area doesn’t accommodate human life. The reserve started letting in tourists in 1998. The animals and plants had time to flourish without interference. Game drives are popular for this sight.
