ATC - Grassland Safari Lodge

Nestled on the fringes of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in the Ghanzi District, Grasslands Safari Lodge promises immersive adventures in one of Botswana’s most remarkable wilderness areas. Guests enjoy an exceptionally productive waterhole in front of the lodge (day and night), horseback safaris, morning and afternoon game drives, encounters with white rhinos, and an extraordinary Bushman experience that sets the lodge apart.
What truly distinguishes us is our claim to the most authentic and comprehensive Bushman (San) experience in Southern Africa.
Rooted deeply in San culture, the lodge’s authenticity stems from the profound connection of its owners, Neeltjie (formerly De Graaff) and her husband Tiaan Bower.
Neeltjie possesses an exceptional understanding of San heritage. Fluent in Naro, the primary language of the Bushmen, she enables genuine engagement with this captivating culture. As a sixth-generation descendant with close familial ties to the San community, she offers rare insight into their customs, traditions, cuisine, and philosophy. From guided walks and traditional toolmaking to immersive village visits enriched with wisdom from the world’s oldest living culture, the experience is meaningful and deeply enriching.

It boasts exhilarating game drives and comprehensive horseback safaris across the Kalahari grasslands, providing guests with unforgettable encounters with a myriad of wildlife.
