Kalahari Desert

The Kalahari Desert, stretching across the southern regions of Namibia, offers an awe-inspiring landscape of vast, undulating red dunes and dry, open plains. While it is often mistaken for a true desert, the Kalahari is a semi-arid sandy savanna, where life flourishes despite the harsh conditions. It’s an area of stark beauty, where the desert’s silence is broken only by the occasional call of wildlife or the wind sweeping across the dunes.

This part of the Kalahari is home to a variety of wildlife, including desert-adapted animals such as oryx, springbok, and meerkats. Visitors can embark on game drives to witness these creatures navigating the challenging desert environment. The Kalahari is also known for its spectacular sunsets, which paint the sky in vibrant colours as the day gives way to night.

A truly unique experience when visiting the Kalahari is the Morning Walk with the San Bushmen. This guided walk offers an enriching opportunity to connect with the indigenous San people, renowned for their deep knowledge of survival in the desert. You’ll learn about their ancient methods of tracking animals, foraging for food, and utilizing plants for medicinal purposes. It’s a memorable way to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of this remarkable desert region.
