Burchell's Zebra at the edge of Serwe Pan in the Khama Rhino Sanctuary.

The 4,300 hectare Sanctuary was established in 1992 to facilitate the reintroduction of White Rhino into Botswana after poaching had left only a handful of Rhino's in the wild.

As well as White Rhino the KRS has numerous other animals including Giraffe, Burchell's Zebra and numerous Antelope - most of which were reintroduced to the area. Along with the animals that were brought in there are other more secretive animals which survived the encroachment and hunting pressures of man such as Kudu, Leopard, Brown Hyena and Caracal to name a few.

The campsites & chalets at Mokongwa Camp are in a beautiful setting under large Mokongwa trees and the surrounding bushveld attracts good birdlife to the campsites.

The Khama Rhino Sanctuary is well worth a visit if you are passing through on your way to the North of Botswana. Its relatively small size means that you can cover most areas of the Sanctuary in one day and due to the quantities of game it often proves more rewarding than game drives in the larger reserves.

This image has been cropped slightly - I used a beanbag to stabilise the lens.
