CONTACT AN EXPERT ON KHAMA RHINO SAFARIIntroduction To Khama Rhino Sanctuary
The Khama Rhino Sanctuary (KRS), located 25 kilometres north of Serowe is an Africa safari sanctuary in Botswana, the best conservation site for both white and black rhino viewings. In 1993, it was formally established to reintroduce rhinos into Botswana and gain the state of the sanctuary as a sustainable habitat for wildlife and rhino’s specifically. It was named after Serestse Khama, who led Botswana into independence in 1965. The idea of the rhino sanctuary was initiated by a group of Serowe inhabitants who aimed to sustain the survival rate of the rhinos in its natural habitat. They also intended to bring benefits to the community through tourism. The safety of this remarkable Botswana safari sanctuary is highly expected as the area is situated near the Botswana Defense Force that gives a 24/7 protection to the rhinos. They wanted to safeguard a sanctuary that could eventually be noted as one of the best rhino protection sanctuaries in Africa. It is also an education centre aimed at teaching children and local population the importance of natural resources conservation. Khama Rhino Sanctuary covers 4300 hectares of Kalahari sand veld.
This Botswana safari sanctuary also boasts of the Serowe Pan, a depression found at the centre of the sanctuary and terrain that is dotted with smaller pans of water across the area. The sanctuary grew from 14 white rhinos and 2 black rhinos into a total of 34 rhinos due to birthing and translocation of some into the sanctuary. It is home to over 200 bird species, making it perfect for avid bird watcher. Blue wildebeest, gemsbok, springbok, red hartebeest eland, giraffe and zebra are also inhabitants of this beautiful natural habitat. Steenbok, kudu, duiker, porcupine, lynx, bat-eared fox and wild cats are sighted in the reserve. The sanctuary makes a perfect African safari haven close to Serowe with its various activities.
The sanctuary offers a Khama Rhino safari trails that are best for nature walks assisted by an experienced and knowledgeable ranger coupled with game drives within the sanctuary. A visit to this Africa Safari wilderness would immensely help in the sustainability of the sanctuary and rhinos in Africa.

Raza Visram at AfricanMecca planned the most amazing trip for my friend and I. I wanted to go to 4 countries in 15 days and he made it happen. It was an aggressive itinerary and Raza planned it so well, that the transitions were seamless. The last leg of the trip was Botswana for another Safari and we stayed at the most beautiful lodge. The excitement in seeing the animals so closely is indescribable.

Our Botswana safari was FANTASTIC! It truly was a luxury, but rustic enough, safari. We really loved our trip! We saw everything here. From lions to leopards to elephants to buffalos. Our guide, Rams was truly amazing. He really knew his stuff! While on the bush walks we encountered zebras, warthogs and much more. Thanks for your help! We will definitely do another trip within a year.
