A rare experience awaits travelers in the heart of the Kalahari Desert. The desert offers close enounters walking with the energetic desert adapted Mongoose, the Meerkat.

There are exclusive luxury private game reservea that provides unparalleled game-viewing. Visitors can encounter the mystical desert safari from the back of an open sided safari vehicle, on horse back or by foot, as guided walks meander across silent red dunes of the Kalahari Reserve. This desert wilderness that is the Kalahari is the historical home of the San People (Bushman) has the largest private concession in Sub-Saharan Africa with over 200 bird species and more than 70 species of mammal including lion, cheetah, desert black rhino, sable and roan antelope and the Meerkat.

These small social carnivores live in close-knit communities called mobs or gangs they depend on one another for survival. If danger is sighted, the sentry gives a warning bark, and the Meerkats flee to the safety of their burrows. When they face the threat of a rival group of Meerkats or a predator, they dig frantically in the sand to create clouds of dust to distract their aggressors. If the threat is a snake, the adults will huddle together with their hair bristling, making themselves as big and tall as they can and drive the predator away. In the community, each Meerkat has special duties. One can see as they emerge from the burrows, selected individuals will stand guard to keep watch for predators. Even as these cooperative breeders wrestle and play about, while sunbathing and grooming one another, they always have a sentry on the lookout.
