REGION INFORMATION
KALAHARI DESERT
Unspoilt Kalahari scenery - the land of the San with an abundance of game, wide open spaces, cattle farming, traditional
villages. The Trans Kalahari Highway runs through this region and is the main link between Namibia and South Africa.
The eastern part of Namibia is better known as the Omaheke Region. Gobabis is an oasis in a “thirstland” where nature
immediately unwinds a tired spirit. The town is not only the perfect stopover when travelling between Namibia, Botswana
(Maun, Okavango Delta) and South Africa, but is bursting with cultural diversity and gives the tourist an insight into how
the very different cultures of the Hereros, Damaras, Coloureds, Germans and Afrikaners blend together.
Omaheke offers unspoilt Kalahari scenery, it is the land of the San with an abundance of game, wide-open spaces, cattle
farming, traditional villages with lots and lots to do. The Omaheke Region is the biggest cattle producing region south
of the equator. Every Friday tourists can visit the cattle auctions and every year in May a two day Meat Festival is held.
Omaheke is also hunter’s paradise. Experience something new by making us your destination! The Trans Kalahari
Highway runs through Omaheke and is the main link between Namibia and South Africa. It is the main access to the
interior of Namibia and all its tourist attractions.
Via the Trans Kalahari Highway, it is a day’s drive from Johannesburg along the well-maintained tarred road. It is also
a day away from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and from the world-renowned Etosha Game Reserve in Namibia. Travellers
along this route will find convenient service centres and fuelling points along the entire route.
The Trans Kalahari route runs from the Gauteng Province in South Africa into Botswana and connects at Buitepos, one
of Namibia’s border-posts, through to the port of Walvis Bay. Besides the scenic wonders, multiplicity of wildlife and the
vast open spaces, this route will also save you approximately 400km between Windhoek and Pretoria.
OKAVANGO DELTA
Botswana is an exhilarating destination. The Okavango Delta is the jewel of Botswana and is one of the most precious
natural resources in the world, enriched with stunning diversity of bird and animal species. The endless plains of the
Central Kalahari, the salt pans and the riverine environment of Chobe National Park are equally blessed.
