Absorb the local culture and traditions of the San (Basarwa) people by enjoying our compulsory bushman experience and reflect on centuries of the local history of the land. The Bushmen are hunter-gatherers, who for thousands of years supported themselves in the desert through their skills.

They hunt (mainly various kinds of antelope) but their daily diet has always consisted more of the fruits, nuts and roots which they seek out in the desert.

They make their own temporary homes from wood that they gather.

Our popular nature walks will bring you into the bush where you will meet the large variety of African bird-life that are specific to our area.

History & culture

The ‘Bushmen’ are the oldest inhabitants of Southern Africa. They are traditionally hunter-gatherers and have lived in harmony with nature for the better part of 20, 000 years. The ‘Bushmen’ have supported themselves through various hunting methods and found fruit, nuts and roots. They live in temporary homes made from wood that they have gathered. Not only are the ‘Bushmen’ famous for their rock art but also their myths and folklore. Bushmen know how to captivate an audience with their suspense, humour and wit.

At Khutse, we take an in depth look into the past, present and future of the ‘Bushmen’ of the Central Kalahari Desert. We offer our popular ‘Bushman Walk’ which allows you to observe the culture and nature of these hunter-gatherers. We also plan to add a ‘Bushman Cultural Centre’ to our lodge.
