The Kalahari region starts in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa and extends right into Botswana and Namibia.
This arid area with its characteristic red sands and large acacia trees has been home to the nomadic San Bushmen for more than 3000 years. An assortment of wildlife thrives amid the harsh conditions.
Oryx, lion, leopard, cheetah, springbok, wildebeest, jackal and hyena, a wide variety of raptors inhabit the area.
There is currently very little infrastructure to explore this part of the Kalahari in South Africa.
The Tswalu Desert Lodge near Kuruman is the only luxury facility in the area. Charter flights can be arranged from Johannesburg or Cape Town.
If you are able to visit this area, don’t forget to look at the infinite canopy of stars of the Milky Way.
The skies are usually clear and there are no artificial lights to influence the visibility.
