It is the closest park to get to from Gaborone (about 3-4 hours drive). Even so, the place is not too full of other people and you certainly feel that you are in the wild - more so as the campsites are very primitive and as the lions are known to have walked straight through these sites!</div> <bR> <div> <I>Khutse grænser op til den sydlige del af Kalahariørkenen. Det er den park der ligger tættest på Gaborone (ca 3-4 timers kørsel). Parken er dog ikke fuld af turister og du vil bestemt føle, at du befinder dig i den vilde natur - ikke mindst fordi campingpladserne er meget primitive og fordi det er sket, at løverne går lige igennem disse campingpladser.</I></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="702" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 376 WIDTH="427"><div> We have visited the park a number of times. As it is in a very dry region the animal life is somewhat sparse, particular when there has been no rains for a long time. Yet, we have been lucky to see lots of amazing animals - though also, unfortunately, on other visits we have seen very little. Still, it is always worth visiting this place as hopefully the photos will show below.

Da parken ligger i et meget tørt område, kan det godt være svært at se ret mange dyr, specielt når det ikke har regnet i lang tid. Vi har dog været heldige at se masser af dyr, selvom vi også på nogle besøg har set ret lidt. Parken er nu altid et besøg værd, hvilket vi håber, at billederne nedenfor også beviser.
