Abstract

The central and southwestern Kalahari of Botswana is an area of about 250,000 square kilometres of semi-arid sandy plains, over which large herds of migratory hartebeest, wildebeest, springbok and gemsbok still range in a relatively natural ecosystem. About one-third of the area has been preserved in three game reserves and one national park. The most accessible is Khutse Game Reserve, a typical area of pans and dry savanna, located on the eastern edge of the migration system. The habitats, wildlife and general ecology of Khutse are discussed. Its management will be oriented towards preserving its essential wilderness character, both for ecological and educationalurposes.
