KANG - A Desert Gem

Situated within the expanse of the Kalahari Desert, Kang may be modest in size, but its strategic location along the Trans-Kalahari Highway bestows upon it a significant role in the tapestry of travel within Botswana. This unassuming town serves as a pivotal point along the primary route connecting South Africa and Namibia, thus elevating its stature for wanderers. A burgeoning nexus of activity, Kang offers an array of guesthouses and exceptional overnight accommodation choices, thoughtfully tailored to cater to the varied needs of both business and leisure travellers.

Essential amenities including a fuel station and shops are readily available, providing a vital lifeline for both travellers and locals. For those embarking on 4x4 adventures, Kang presents an idyllic respite between Ghanzi and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve to the north, and Sekoma and the Mabuashehube region of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park to the south.

Positioned 340 km from the Gaborone Lobatse Border Post linking Botswana and South Africa, 390 km from the Buitepos Border Post connecting Botswana and Namibia, and 455 km from the McCarthys Rest Border Post near Tsabong on the South African border, Kang stands as a pivotal crossroads. While it may not be an explicit holiday destination, Kang offers a unique charm. Surrounding game farms invite guests to partake in game drives, allowing them to bask in the splendour of the magnificent thorn tree-studded savannah landscape.

Kang is a remarkable testament to how a small town can transcend its size, carving out a distinctive niche within the heart of the Kalahari, and beckoning travellers to experience its understated allure.
