Mokolodi Nature Reserve – A wondrous excursion spot for those visiting Botswana<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The Mokolodi Nature Reserve offers a wondrous excursion \u00a0for families and foreign tourists visiting Botswana. Accessible by road about 15 km from the city, Mokolodi is considered to be an ideal place to see and interact with the wildlife of the region in a short time span. After all, the Nature Reserve gives the \u201cfeel\u201d of a safari, without having to visit a national park or game reserve.<\/p>\n

Mokolodi Nature Reserve, ever since it was set up in the early 90s, has been a boon to the animal kingdom. A private park, the reserve is managed by the Mokolodi Wildlife Foundation, which is involved in rehabilitating endangered to near-extinct animals before setting them back into the wild. One of their greatest achievements has been the reintroduction of the White Rhino in the Okavango region in northern Botswana. At present, it has a large number of animal species, including the water buck, hyena, zebra, leopard, giraffe, and cheetah. The reserve also has a reptile park for conserving snakes and other reptiles, and a clinic to treat all wounded and ailing animals and birds. Owing to a number of educational programs run by various trusts and donations, the reserve provides children and adults an opportunity to know more about the animals in it, their habits and habitat.<\/p>\n

In addition to the natural attractions, the Mokolodi Nature Reserve has several facilities on offer for vacationers. It has rest camps and chalets, a restaurant serving authentic food from the region, a curio-shop and tea garden, and a conference center for business functions and events. Tourists can either take a day trip to this Botswana Nature Reserve, or stay in the camp or chalet for a few days enjoying the beauteous natural environment. Your Mokolodi Nature Reserve tour will, although, be incomplete without participating in some of the activities organized by the administration. This includes rhino tracking, giraffe tracking, guided drives around the reserve, guided night drives, and visiting the reptile park and sanctuary. Foreign tourists can also enjoy the local cuisine and traditional dance performances organized inside the Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n
