"This is South Africa’s largest privately protected conservation area, preserving roughly 281,000 acres of semi-arid Kalahari landscape in the country’s north. The reserve emphasizes conservation and wildlife research, and the open, expansive terrain is presented as the primary attraction for visitors. Its remoteness means most guests arrive via scheduled charter flights (about two hours from Cape Town or 90 minutes from Johannesburg), and the property is malaria-free. Hospitality on the reserve is noted for warm service and expert safari guides, while accessibility can vary across properties and terrain." - AFAR
