26 Meetings Botswana 2024
Largely part of the Kalahari Desert, the area is
characterised by red sand dunes, salt pans and dry river
beds, with underground water flows providing sustenance
for grasses and trees – feeding the herds of wildebeest and
other antelope which then attract raptors and predators,
including the famed black-maned lion.
Home to an estimated 200 species of birds, an
additional bonus for visitors is the plentiful game viewing
and beauty of the landscape during the summer months
between January and April, but with limited access and
accommodation, the park is probably least suited to
corporate incentives or events.
KHAMA RHINO SANCTUARY
Around 300km north-east from Gaborone off the
Francistown road, the Khama Rhino Sanctuary was set
up in 1992 to protect Botswana’s endangered rhinos and
provide a focal point for conservation education.
Covering around 85 sq km centred on the Serwe Pan,
the sanctuary provides a home for both black and white
rhino, plus more than 30 other animal species as well as
230 bird species.
For a conference with a difference, there is a multi-
purpose hall with capacity for up to 100 people, plus
restaurant and pool facilties.
