Grasslands Safari Lodge, nestled on the fringes of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the Ghanzi District, promises unparalleled and immersive adventures. The ability to offer such a cross-section of activities, from an exceptionally productive waterhole right in front of the lodge (day and night) to horseback safaris, morning drives, afternoon drives, the Wild Dog project, and the white Rhinos, along with an entire Bushman experience unlike any other in Botswana, sets Grasslands Safari Lodge apart.
Rooted deeply in the Bushman (San) culture, the lodge owes its authenticity to the profound connection and understanding of its owners, Neeltjie (formerly De Graaff) and her husband Tiaan Bower.
Neeltjie stands as a beacon of knowledge, boasting an almost unrivaled understanding of the San culture. Fluent in Naro, the primary language of the Bushmen, she opens a gateway for guests to delve into the lives of these captivating people. As a sixth-generation descendant with familial ties intricately interwoven with the Bushmen, Neeltjie brings a treasure trove of insights into their customs, culture, cuisine, and philosophy, making our Bushman interaction profoundly different and authentic. From walks to toolmaking, to village life immersed with pearls of wisdom from the world’s oldest living culture, the experience is both exceptional and profound.
Though slightly off the beaten path, the journey to Grasslands Safari Lodge promises to be a rewarding one.
We would love to speak with you.
