The name Khutse means "where one kneels to drink" in Sekwena (the local dialect of Setswana).[3] Because of its proximity, and relative accessibility, to the nation's capital, Khutse game Reserve is a common favorite for Gaborone visitors or residents. The 240 km drive takes the traveller through a number of interesting Kalahari villages, including the ‘gateway to the Kalahari,’ Molepolole.[4]
