Khutse Game Reserve
Khutse Game Reserve (KGR) is situated in an extra ordinary part of the Kalahari and spectacularly different to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. KGR is part of an ancient river that once flowed north-east-wards to fill Lake Makgadikgadi. The only relics of this river system are the dry river valley and a series of pans. Today, the game viewing area is centered on these pans.
No matter what time of year one visits Khutse, there will always be an abundance of lions, leopards, brown hyena and hartebeests to be seen. After the rains, there are often large herds of gemsbok as well. Today there are artificial watering points at two of the pans, making it possible for game to remain in the reserve throughout the year. Many of the campsites are situated on the edge of a pan, which enables one to do game-watching from the comfort of a camp chair.
Camping
There are excellent camp sites in Khutse and most of them are situated on the edges of the pan. The campsites are undeveloped and have got only a pit latrine and a shower bucket. Borehole water must be obtained from the Game Scout Camp at the gate. The following campsites is available:
