Botswana Central Kalahari Game Reserve The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) is the largest game reserve in the world, and has until recently been closed to the public. Those that now venture in are rewarded with untamed Africa at its best. Chobe Game Reserve Both hippo's and elephants epitomise this park more than any other animals. It is estimated that there are between 45,000 and 90,000 elephants in this area. Linyanti Wildlife Reserve The Linyanti Reserve is highly populated with animals particularly in the dry winter months when elephants concentrate in enormous numbers at the rivers and waterholes. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park & Adjoining Salt Pans Once a superlake, the Makgadikgadi Pans now comprise perennial pools that attract waterbuck, bushbuck and resident hippos.
