||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Grassland Bushman Lodge is situated on the western side of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the Ghanzi district, and is part of a private wildlife reserve of some 15 000 hectare. The family who run the Lodges have been in the area for 5 generations, and are proud to share their passion and knowledge of the area. Grassland is a small lodge, and accommodates only 16 guests, in comfortable en-suite (shower, basin, and toilet) chalets. Electricity is provided by generator. The main Lodge area consists of a large lounge and dining room, bar area, with adjacent swimming pool. This complex over looks a waterhole, and allows for some excellent game viewing. Activities at the Lodge are centre on a comprehensive San experience, day and night game drives, the predator rehabilitation centre, and horseback excursions. You get the chance to join the San families in their day to day life, from food gathering and cooking, to tracking game, and learning hunting techniques. Guests also visit the San Village, and you learn about life, in this remote, but beautiful area. Game drives are conducted during the morning, and afternoon, and continue into the evening. Plains game is excellent, as is the predator population of lion, cheetah, leopard, caracal and serval. Birding is excellent, with a number of predatory species such as bateleur and martial eagles, along with the stately secretary bird, and majestic ostrich. The Lodge is also proud of its Problem Predator project, which aims to assist in the re-introduction of endangered species such as wild dog and cheetah into the wild.
