Taking Stock of Wildlife at Gondwana Kalahari Park

By Gondwana Collection
May 10, 2023

It is not only photographers who go into raptures: Gondwana Kalahari Park is characterised by a uniquely picturesque landscape of elongated dunes and valleys of red sand, yellow grass and green acacias. This private nature reserve (98 km²), owned by the Gondwana Collection, is home to animals which are typical for the Kalahari - like springbok, gemsbok, jackal and bat-eared fox as well as ostrich, kori bustard and many other types of birds.

After research established which animals occurred in the area historically, new stock of plains zebra, eland antelope, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest and giraffe was gradually re-introduced. A scientifically sound game management programme resulted in increased diversity of animal species and, as far as possible, nature’s restoration to its original state. The programme in the Gondwana Kalahari Park, which is situated 30km northeast of Mariental, is monitored by qualified park management staff.

 

Invitation to the 2023 Game Count

An annual game count provides valuable data to the park management in terms of game numbers and diversity. The 2023 game count will take place from 16 to 18 June. Not only Gondwana shareholders, friends and staff are invited to participate, but also interested members of the general public. Please see our detailed offer below.

This annual event also serves as a social get-together at Kalahari Anib Lodge, which hosts the game count. The traditional braai in the veld on Saturday morning and the boma dinner at the end of the first day’s count have become a highlight for all participants. This year, a Mobile Planetarium at Kalahari Anib Lodge will add to the excitement.

Get to know the Namibian night sky in an inflatable dome. Inside, there is specialised visual and audio equipment giving a 360-degree experience which immerses the visitor into a wonderful experience of the universe.

 

The Mobile Planetarium is part of Radboud University's (Netherlands) and University of Namibia’s (UNAM) outreach plans for the Africa Millimetre Telescope (AMT) that will be constructed on the Gamsberg mountain. It aims to inspire a future generation of Namibian scientists and engineers but is fascinating for everyone, no matter if young and old.
