Abstract: | The first entry in this chronology of major events relating to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), Botswana, refers to the pre-1800s, when foragers and agropastoralists occupy the Central Kalahari region. The next entry is 1849: Livingstone, Oswell and Murray cross the eastern Kalahari Desert to the Botletle River. The chronology refers, amongst others, to research projects, the discovery of diamonds, government fact-finding missions, forced resettlement out of the Reserve and the status of the Basarwa. The last entry is for March 24, 1998, when the negotiating team of the CKGR met with Botswana's outgoing President, Sir Ketumile Masire, to discuss the Central Kalahari Game Reserve issue and the efforts of residents to secure rights to their land.
