The San activities at Thakadu centre around a loosely knit group of Nai Nai bushmen who come mostly from the central areas of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). This population became the basis for the settlement of Xade and ultimately New Xade. The name Nai Nai translates directly as “people of the bush” thus they consider themselves to be the true bushmen.
To walk with these Bushmen and witness their skills as gatherers and trackers firsthand, is a revelation not easily forgotten and if requested they are available for traditional dances in the evening around the fire.
Game drives and night drives are available on Kabakae Game Reserve where large herds of Eland and other kalahari wildlife may be seen. There are also a huge variety of native, vagrant and migratory birds. Clients are also welcome to use their own vehicles on our network of roads.
We also provide guided bush walks or for the adventurous, we have a number of hiking trails.
