Botswana Parks
Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the guide to Botswana.
Khutse Game Reserve borders the remote southern reaches of Central Kalahari Game Reserve. There are no fences between the parks, and a lot of the bird species are present in both. Khutse is particularly good for raptors due to the many small animals for them to feed on. Ostrich and kori bustard are common in the area, and big flocks of sandgrouse come to drink at waterholes.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Khutse is a great reserve for bird watching year-round. However, the ideal time is from November to April, which are wetter months. At this time, migratory birds from Europe and North Africa are present. Many birds are also breeding, with some species, such as the whydahs, transforming their plumage from drab to spectacular. Some of the best wildlife-viewing months are around the same time.
