Toyota 1000km Desert Race
The Annual event which is organized by
Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO), SA
National Off Road Car Racing Association
(SANORA) &Mascom bring together
Toyota Kalahari Botswana 1000 Desert
Race which takes place in Jwaneng every
year in June since 2014.
The event which continues to grow in
popularity has been running for the past
three years in Jwaneng and draws

three years been included as one of the
feeder races to the Dakar Rally as one of the
four events in the world to gain that status.
This is the biggest off road race in Africa,
with a following of over 120 000 spectators.
The event has become a notable calendar
feature and starts off in the morning at
0800hrs with an epic and electrifying start
that is always witnessed by elders, families
and motor sport enthusiasts as well. People
literally brave the cold winter mornings to
reach the start off point and witness the

Jwana Game Park
The area that was to become Jwana Game
Park was initially a fenced Mine Lease Area
surrounding Jwaneng mine, populated by
l i m i t e d n u m b e r s o f H a r t e b e e s t ,
Wildebeest, Springbok, Ostrich and other
smaller animals. It is the home to a variety
of animals including Zebras, Wild beast and
some rare predators like the Cheetah.
During devastating droughts in 1985, large
herds of hartebeest migrated towards this
area in search of water. Over 100
hartebeest managed to break through the
fences into the lease area. Several waterholes
were built in 1986 and 1987, and the
influx of animals resulted in an increase in
poaching in the area. In late 1987 the
external security fence was raised, both to
improve mine security and protect the
wildlife.
Since then, the park has increased in size
from 5926 hectares to 19085 hectares, and
animals have been imported, both to
introduce new blood, and to reintroduce
