Restore the wild in Kavango, a nature conservation inspired strategy board game where you take on the role of a Conservation Expert working to transform a unique landscape into a thriving reserve in Southern Africa. Build a diverse ecosystem, protect vulnerable species plus prove your conservation strategy can deliver the most successful nature reserve.
 
Across three rounds, players draft cards simultaneously to develop their own wilderness. Choose carefully from a rich collection of species, selecting animals that work well together while creating a balanced habitat capable of supporting a flourishing ecosystem. Every choice shapes your reserve, giving you new opportunities while narrowing the options available later.
 
Research plays a vital role in your conservation efforts. Complete Research tasks to secure funding, then invest those resources into protecting vulnerable and endangered wildlife. As your reserve develops, the decisions become increasingly demanding forcing you to weigh immediate benefits against long-term conservation goals.
 
With 160 unique Species cards, 45 Research cards, 10 Conservation Experts plus 5 Landscape boards, Kavango offers tremendous variety across repeated games. Each combination creates a different ecological puzzle, encouraging you to experiment with new strategies while discovering how species interact within your reserve.
 
Created by conservationists Matt and Zara during their work in Botswana, Kavango combines accessible card drafting with a deeply thematic approach to modern wildlife conservation. Its engaging strategy makes it an excellent choice for families, nature lovers and experienced board gamers looking for a thoughtful ecosystem-building challenge.
