Lions of the Kalahari Central Kalahari Wildlife Guide

The predominant predators in the Kalahari regions are the Lion , Leopard, Cheetah and Hyena. In relation to the occurrence of their prey, Lions are encountered in relatively scattered Kalahari lion prides or as sole hunters.

Lions have always displayed the ability to withstand different climates and can be found on a number of reserves within the Kalahari, where temperatures can vary from -15 C to over 40 C. Due to the intense heat and wide dispersal of prey, the Lions are forced to adapt to this harsh reality.

In conditions better suited for survival, large Kalahari lion prides of over 30 might prevail; however in the Kalahari that number dwindles to groups ranging from a male and female pair, to 6 lions because of this shortfall of prey.

Kalahari Lion Pride

In addition, they often need to travel much longer distances in search of their prey, which often leads to high rates of cub mortality , as Lionesses are away for long periods of time hunting prey in order to produce milk for their young.

Kalahari Lions differ from their counterparts found in areas such as the Serengeti. They generally have a lower body weight and male lions tend to be between 20-40 kilograms lighter. This characteristic indicates that they have evolved to suit an extreme environment which demands longer travelling distances in to find prey

Well known as nocturnal hunters, Lions take advantage of the cooler temperatures to make their kills when they are able to expend the greatest effort. During the warm hours of the day, these large cats usually rest in shaded areas and keep cool by panting .

Lions have adapted and go through patterns of panting in such a way as to cool down blood, which is then transferred to the brain. They are often found lying on their backs with their paws overturned.

This is because they sweat through their paws, as well as the mucous membranes in their mouths. Similar to the way in which they have adapted to the scarcity of food , Kalahari Lions have attained the ability to go for up to 2 weeks without water.

With their ability to tolerate extreme temperatures, these tenacious, resilient predators have braved living in this harsh environment and have found a way to survive in a hostile and seemingly uninhabitable environment.

Deserts, dust & deception pan

Ranging over 900 000km², the Kalahari Desert extends over three countries, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, with the majority being located in the very heart of Botswana.  We’ve included a few of our favourite lodges in different regions below. The Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana is characterised by expansive, golden open plains, vast salt pans and winding riverbeds. Ancient fossil rivers wind their way through this arid reserve, the most famous, Deception Valley, a timeworn watercourse that carved its way through the Northern Kalahari over 16,000 years ago.  Today this area is a fantastic game-rich reserve.  At over 52 800km², this diverse reserve is not only the largest and most remote wildlife reserve in Southern Africa, but is also the second largest wildlife reserve in the world. What makes this reserve truly unique is that back in 1961, the park was originally established to serve as a place of sanctuary for the San tribes.  Ensuring their traditional way of life was not interrupted by modern man.

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve supports an array of life in its varying ecosystems. Many species here are not water-dependent and rely on getting their moisture from fauna such as melons and bulbs that are typical in the Kalahari. During the dry season the wildlife can be scattered in their search for food and water, however in the emerald summer all life starts to congregate in the lush green valleys such as Deception Valley. Many varying species can be found roaming the reserve from the iconic blacked-maned lions, desert elephants, meerkats, cheetah, giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, ostrich, oryx, kudu, hyena, African wild cats, bat-eared foxes and honey badgers. Leopard, brown hyena and African wild dogs are also present but are relativity hard to spot. The birdlife of the Kahalari is abundant and varied, with many species soaring the skies or fluttering through the desert fauna. A few species to look our for include; tawny eagles, lilac breasted rollers, secretary birds, shaft-tailed whydahs, African jacanas and of course the white-backed vulture.

When & Where to go

The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is not only the largest game reserve in Botswana, it’s also the most remote and wild. Easy to experience if you have knowledge of the park and a well equipped vehicle, especially at times when animals congregate around pans. You should try to include some of these pans in your visit;

Deception pan 

Tsau pan 

Leopard pan

Sunday pan 

Passage pan 

Motopi pan 

Piper pan 

Phukwe pan 

There are two distinct seasons in the Kalahari. The dry season runs from April – October and the wet season starts from November and goes through to March. The best time to visit the Central Kahalari is between April and September. Prices for lodges will be expensive during the peak months which are November, followed by March and September. However, the best game viewing months are from December to March as a vast array of species tend to congregate around the remaining water sources close in the vicinity of Deception Valley.

What people say about us.

What an amazing hunting experience. Party of 8 with 4 kids and we all loved it- hunters and non-hunters alike. The rooms and kitchen are well equipped, family friendly and very neat. Although Ockie and Sumari was willing to go to great lengths to find clear shots on the game we wanted, it was such an easy find as the farm is well stocked with various game species. Non-hunters relaxed blissfully at the lodge whilst the hunters were out. Well worth the 600km drive from Gauteng!

Fantastic amenities, beautiful views and sunsets! The wildlife is well looked after even though the drought is taking its toll. A highly recommended destination!

I spent a day at Kalahari, a resort in the 'water park capital of the world' for $60. Even as an adult, it was an absolute blast.

• I spent a day in Wisconsin Dells, also known as the "water park capital of the world."
• For $60, I visited Kalahari water park , which had a surprising number of rides for kids and adults.
• I loved Kalahari, and it's nice that the indoor water park makes it possible to enjoy it all year.

The Midwest isn't known for tropical temperatures or stunning beaches, but it is home to the "water park capital of the world": Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.

The city has more water parks per capita than anywhere else, and around 4 million tourists flock to its indoor and outdoor attractions every year. In March, I jumped at the chance to visit Kalahari, one of the hundreds of water parks in the area.

There are hundreds of parks to choose from, but I ended up buying a $60 pass to Kalahari , a safari-themed water-park chain with five locations across the US.

Here's what it was like to explore the property's indoor water park for a day.

The large indoor park had a great variety of rides for both adults and children.

Nestled along Interstate 90, Kalahari is a safari-themed resort in Wisconsin Dells. I planned a day at the resort's indoor water park , but there is also an outdoor park when the weather is nice.

March in Wisconsin is cold, but the property's indoor water park was a tropical oasis.

I was pleasantly surprised by the expansive park. From thrilling rides to family-friendly attractions, there was something for everyone.

I'm glad I got there right when it opened.

The park opened at 10 a.m., and I arrived promptly to secure a spot around the pools.

The tables are first come, first served, and ours became the home base for our group of eight throughout the day.

We felt comfortable leaving towels and clothes behind at the table, but I paid $15 for an all-day locker to hold valuables like phones, wallets, and keys.

As a thrill seeker, I found plenty to do.

I love thrill rides, so I started my day at The Screaming Hyena.

The 60-foot-tall slide starts with an adrenaline-pumping drop through a clear tube that reminded me of a hurricane simulator . Riders then plunged into a rushing torrent of water below.

It quickly became my favorite attraction .

Following the exhilaration of The Screaming Hyena, my next waterslide experience awaited me on The Wild Wildebeest.

The ride accommodated two guests at a time, offering a roller-coaster-like experience of twists and turns throughout the water park. It was incredibly fast and quite long, making it an instant hit.

I liked the combination of being fully enclosed in a tube and then suddenly plunging into the light.

But there were also plenty of kid-friendly options.

The water park also had special areas for children and milder slides for those who weren't looking for a huge thrill.

The Tanzanian Twister, which looks and feels like being flushed down a giant toilet bowl, was a crowd favorite for my group.

It was comical watching fellow riders swirl around before plunging into the center hole that opened to a pool underneath. We all challenged ourselves to maneuver through the hole in the funniest ways possible, and I won for being flushed out headfirst.

There was even a family-friendly hot tub where guests could float through a hole in the wall leading to the park's outdoor section.

The chilly Wisconsin weather was a breath of fresh air and a nice way to take a break from the park's bustling atmosphere.

After getting acquainted with the slides, I set my course for the swim-up bar.

After trying out most of the big slides, I sought refuge at the Thirsty Turtle, a swim-up bar offering a selection of tropical drinks.

I eyed the fun cocktails in signature cups, but I ended up ordering an $8 White Claw.

I brought food, but the water park had a few options for guests.

The park had a food stand with a surprisingly large menu — most people I saw walk up to the counter seemed to be ordering pizzas.

Although the food was tempting, my group packed lunches to save a few bucks.

Kalahari is a great place for families and adults.

I think adults and children can both get a lot out of Kalahari. Thrilling slides and family-friendly attractions made the day fun for everyone.

Overall, I think it's a great choice for a Midwest escape — whether you're trying to avoid the cold winters or cool off in the summer heat.

Say Hello to Our Animals

One of the best parts about our safari zoo in Pennsylvania is all the different animals you may see. More than 500 animals roam the safari fields freely at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. You may meet curious critters that are just as interested in you as you are in them — it is common for animals to approach the tour bus and get close enough for guests to reach out and touch them. Interacting with these animals is sure to be an unforgettable and highly beneficial experience for your party.

Our New Safari Station

Dedicated to providing our guests with the best possible experience, we are happy to introduce our safari station. Built and launched in 2015, the safari station includes the following:

• A comfortable holding area large enough to fit guests as they wait for their turn to hop aboard the cruiser
• A snack shop where you can grab a drink, some food for the ride, and even feed to give the animals while on the tour
• Well-maintained restrooms for your convenience
