We went for an afternoon game drive. The driver/guide was awesome (Eddy). The animals were plentiful and it was good value. For a bonus, it's just a short drive on tar to get there. The staff generally are so friendly and awesome, I'll go back whenever I can!

really a beautiful place to visit for a cost which is almost nothing.we never expected that there will be a waterfall there, even though a small one, the most interesting and adventurous part is the way you get to the fall as it needs climbing as well as trekking plus support from the people with whom you are going.some of these adventurous trips are really very difficult to express through texting you should personally feel it to know what is what.Really a memorable waterfall as well a excellent experience.Just 50 KM from Gaborone.

We entered Khutse from the North traveling through the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. We were not planned to stay over, just a drive through. Well, we were disappointed that we did not book to stay over. Lots of game and the park is well runned. We did not see any other vehicles in the park. The camps are unfenced with long drops and bucket showers. We came across lots of Lion track's. We booked to explore Khutse in April-May and looking very much forward to the trip.

The site of different species of animals in the area. I saw zebras and others ????. I would really recommend this place while you in Gaborone. I feel you can to connect with nature, the quietness, the animals and its well taken care of. No litter around the place. I would love to go back for camping now ????. The entrance fees are reasonable as well
