Description [ correction ]

Ghanzi is seen as the gateway to the Kalahari and is a convenient stop-over for Gaborone, Maun and Namibia. Ghanzi is primarily a farming community that supplies the Botswana Meat Commission with most of the required beef produce. Thirty-five kilometres north of Ghanzi is the small village of D'Kar, home to various extended family groups of Bushmen people. Do take the time to stop here, as one of the best co-operative galleries displaying and selling Bushman art and crafts is situated here. Every year during August, D'Kar also hosts the Kuru Traditional Dance and Music Festival. With all aspects of traditional Bushmen culture on display, this event is well worth visiting.
