The Botswana Ministry of Environment and Tourism has issued an update regarding road conditions in the country’s protected areas following recent heavy rains. Several roads within the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) have been rendered inaccessible due to flooding. Affected routes include:
- Tsau Gate area (Motopi, Passage)
- Matswere Gate area (Deception Pan, Kukama, Lekhubu, Letiahau)
- Xade Gate area (Piper Pan, Phokoje)
- Tau Pan area (Phokoje, Sunday/Leopard Pan)
For safety reasons, these routes have been temporarily closed. Travellers are advised to use alternative roads to reach their destinations.
Additionally, the road from Letlhakeng to Khutse is also flooded. While it remains open, extreme caution is advised when using this route.
In Khwai, the gatehouse collapse on 15 February 2025 has not affected services. An alternative route has been opened, but drivers should proceed with extra caution.
The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) continues to monitor road conditions. We'll keep you updated.
