Discovering Ghanzi
Ghanzi District covers a huge area. It is almost as big as some small countries! This district is important for both its nature and its people.
Nature and Wildlife
A big part of eastern Ghanzi is covered by the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. A game reserve is a special protected area. It helps keep wild animals safe. Many different animals live freely here.
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the largest in the world. It is a dry, sandy area. Despite this, many animals thrive here. You can find lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and many types of antelope. It is a great place to see African wildlife in its natural home.
Other Fun Places
Besides the big game reserve, Ghanzi has other cool spots. Deception Valley is a famous part of the Central Kalahari. It is known for its wide-open spaces and unique plants.
Ghanzi Craft is a place where local people make and sell traditional crafts. This is a great way to learn about the culture. You can find beautiful handmade items here.
The Khutse Game Reserve is another important wildlife area. It is located in the southern part of the district. Khutse is also home to many animals. It offers a different experience from the Central Kalahari.
How Ghanzi is Organized
Ghanzi District is divided into two smaller parts. These are called sub-districts. They help manage the large area more easily.
Districts and Administration
The two sub-districts are Charles Hill Sub-District and Ghanzi Sub-District. Each sub-district has its own local administration. This helps provide services to the people living there. It also helps manage the land and resources.
