"The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) is an unforgiving, harsh terrain covering a large swathe of central Botswana. It’s still relatively inaccessible and remote, with very little human impact – only a handful of visitors each year. Whilst it’s essentially a desert, there are grasslands that make it home to wildlife species including giraffes, cheetahs, wild dogs, and hyenas."
