Shady
campsites with
braai
pits are adjacent to clean toilets and (steaming-hot) showers, while
there are also some six-person dorms. For a little more comfort, there are rustic four-per-
son chalets and six-person A-frames; both have basic kitchen facilities and private bath-
rooms. There's also a restaurant, bar and a swimming pool. If you don't have a vehicle,
staff can drive you to the campsite and accommodation areas for a nominal fee.
Getting There & Away
The entrance gate to the sanctuary is 26km northwest of Serowe along the road to Orapa
(turn left at the poorly signed T-junction about 5km northwest of Serowe). Khama is ac-
cessible by any bus or combi heading towards Orapa.
Tswapong Hills
East of Palapye, these boulder-strewn hills represent some of the most dramatic landforms
in Botswana. Pleasing from a distance, up close the hills watch over intriguing ruins while
steep-walled gorges drive deep into the rocky interior, sheltering oasislike picnic spots and
important colonies of breeding Cape vultures close to the northern limit of their range, as
well as other birdlife. Accessible from both north and south, it's a popular escape for local
residents with nary a tourist in sight. You'll need your own wheels - public transport is
practically nonexistent.
