Tswalu Kalahari Reserve in South Africa is currently owned by the Oppenheimer’s family. Much has changed in the years since Oppenheimer’s family acquired Tswalu, however the overall goal has remained unchanged – “to restore the Kalahari to itself” and to make Tswalu one of the premier wildlife destinations in Africa as well as a premier South Africa game reserve.

Makgadigadi Transfrontier Park is the remnant of a great lake which once covered most of Botswana. Being the largest of their kind in the world, providing the traveler with a unique experience in a land of glaring, saline and sandy expanses. The absence of man-made barriers (except to the west and south of the Park) has provided a conservation area large enough to maintain examples of two ecological processes that were once widespread in the savannahs and grasslands of Africa. Big Hole National Battlefield is a memorial to the people who fought and died here on August 9 and 10, 1877; combatants in a five month conflict that came to be called the Nez Perce War of 1877. Like other Indian Wars in the late 1800’s, the Nez Perce War involved two very different groups with very different outlooks on land rights, civilian authority, government powers, social organization, and the responsibilities of the individuals to society. |
