Grassland Bushman Lodge is situated on the western side of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the Ghanzi district of Botswana, the property is a private wildlife reserve of some 15 000 ha. The Central Kalahari is home and has been so for five generations, we would love to share our passion and first hand knowledge of the Kalahari with our guests.

Our lodge is somewhat different from most others you will encounter in Botswana. We are a family concern and proud citizens of Botswana. Apart from the family the rest of our staff compliment is made up entirely of San (Bushmen), most have worked alongside our family for generations. In fact our family has lived in the Ghanzi district for over 120 years. Our lodge can accommodate 16 guests and we also are able to accommodate families in a special family unit.

Our hospitality can best be described as home away from home, a sense of genuine ease prevails …. A relaxed and informal holiday.. after all holidays are meant to be relaxing.

The main complex area can be divided into three areas, a large lounge and dinning room in one building, a huge covered bar area that also doubles up as a dinning area/ outside lounge which is adjacent to the swimming pool. All of these structures overlook a waterhole where huge variety of wildlife can be seen from the comfort of chairs or from the pool area.

Near the lodge is a private registered airstrip, which is serviced by all charter companies, though we prefer to fly with Delta Air. Self-drive access is possible, although a 4 X 4 vehicle is required to reach the lodge. Alternatively guests traveling in a sedan vehicle can be collected by the lodge staff in Ghanzi (where secure parking is available) and transferred to the lodge.

At Grassland Bushman Lodge we focus on four main groups of activities:
A very, comprehensive San (Bushmen) experience, day and night drives, our unique predator rehabilitation center and finally horseback safaris – where guests can get really close to wildlife.

Accommodation:

Accommodation is in comfortable en-suite chalets with shower, basin and wc. Electricity is provided during most parts of the day by means of a generator.
