Khutse Game Reserve

Very Rustic

Khutse Game Reserve is located on the southern border of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve both very remote and undeveloped destinations. These reserves are notorious as very authentic bush destination with wild animals including lions often entering campsites at night.

Ours was a self drive trip and we carried everything including fresh water, extra fuel, etc. Campsites were unfenced with basic amenities including open-air pit toilet and shower cubicles. Note you have to supply and heat your own water.

Game species were not prolific, sparse would be a more appropriate description. This is definitely not a mainstream tourist destination and more suitable for those who have an appreciation for just being out in the African bush…

Great Bush Vibe

Khutse started off a disappointment for us as they had made a double booking and the specific camp requested was not available. We then had to camp at a different camp that was quite far from where most of the wildlife roamed. If it wasn't for a great Cheetah viewing the wildlife would not have mediocre. It was however an enjoyable bush experience and we were refunded for our accommodation. We shortened out trip with one night because it was just to cold at night.

Limited variety of game and bird species. Habitat is not very diverse. Very rustic camping sites.
