THE KALAHARI CONSERVATION SOCIETY
The Kalahari Conservation Society (KCS) is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that was established in
1982 by former president of Botswana Sir Ketumile Masire. KCS was formed in recognition of the pressures on
Botswana's wildlife and has spent the last three decades actively collaborating with other NGOs and government
departments to help conserve the country's environment and natural resources. To date, the organisation has been
involved in more than 50 conservation projects in the Kalahari, Chobe National Park, Moremi Game Reserve and
the Okavango Delta.
The KCS aims to promote knowledge of Botswana's rich wildlife resources and its environment through educa-
tion and publicity; to encourage, and sometimes finance, research into issues affecting these resources and their
conservation; and to promote and support policies of conservation towards wildlife and its habitat. To achieve
these objectives, the KCS relies on private donations, and memberships.

Rooms, now a little run-down, inhabit 24 attractively furnished
rondavels
and there's a
cosy main dining area. Activities include game drives into the reserve and San-related ex-
periences. You'll need a 4WD to reach the lodge.

Getting There & Away
The entrance gate and park office are 210km from Gaborone. The road is sealed until
Letlhakeng (109km from the park entrance), whereafter it's around 100km on a patchy
gravel road to the turn-off to Kaudwane, then a sandy track for the last few kilometres to
the park entrance. A 4WD vehicle is necessary for exploring the reserve.
