Kgori Safaris, in collaboration with the Ghanzi congregation of the Dutch Reformed Church of Botswana, are planning a once in a lifetime African adventure to raise funds for the church and its projects. The adventure involves a cattle drive on horseback through the Kalahari wilderness over a distance of 373 miles (600km). Over a period of 28 days approximately 600 head of cattle will be driven through the desolate Kalahari desert - from the cattle rich district of Ghanzi in western Botswana to the small town of Jwaneng in the south-eastern part of the country. This promises to be a true African wilderness experience and is definitely not for the faint-hearted as encounters with lion and leopard are not excluded. At night team members will sleep out in the open. However, they can rest assured as the organisers will provide armed protection. Provision will be made for emergency air medivac facilities, (emergency medical evacuation by air-lifting), as well as normal first-aid facilities. This unforgettable adventure will take place from 20 April - 31 May 1999, provided that sufficient en-route watering facilities are available.
Various options are available:
Temperatures are expected to vary between 39.2 deg. F (4 deg. C) and 89.6 deg F (32 deg. C). Rates: US $250 per person per day (Including: all meals, soft drinks, sleeping facilities, horses and equipment. Excluding: international flights to and from Maun, Botswana, international departure taxes and personal shopping and gratuities) This adventure is brought to you by Kgori Safaris - your connection to Botswana's wilderness areas and the Okavango Delta!
