Highly recommended by readers, Grassland Safari Lodge is well off the beaten track, about 70km from the main Ghanzi–Maun road. This admirable lodge, with comfortable chalet accommodation and its own water hole, runs a predator-protection program that temporarily houses lions, cheetahs, leopards and wild dogs, which are often shot by farmers protecting their livestock.
It also conducts wildlife drives and horse safaris, and hosts excellent cultural activities with local San. Grassland’s owner, Nelltjie Bowers, can speak the clicking Naro language and is a mine of information on the local area. Contact the lodge in advance for directions to the property.
