The Khama Rhino Sanctuary lies 29 km north of Serowe on the Orapa road in the central district of Botswana.

The project, sustained by a community trust established in 1992, is dedicated to the safeguarding and breeding of some of Botswana's last rhinos - the rhino population was in danger of being poached out.

At the moment, it conserves a small group of three black rhino and the largest herd of white rhino in the country.
It is situated on 4,300 ha of Kalahari sandveld and a Serwe Pan, a large calcrete depression, lies in the centre of the reserve.

The reserve not only has the largest breeding herd of rhino in Botswana, but is also home to a diverse range of antelope and smaller mammals, such as bat-eared fox.

The sanctuary offers an education and conference centre, delightful self-catering chalets, three "squaredavels" (rectangular huts) ideal for backpackers and extensive, clear, serviced campsites. 
All the campsites and other accomodation are situated in stands of mongongo trees, which provide privacy and shade.

An ordinary car is suitable for getting to the chalets and campsites, but one needs to join a conducted game drive or drive a bakkie (pick-up) or 4X4 follow all the routes within the sanctuary.
