Gham Dao - Jan 22 -165

The Kalahari! The name conjures up images of vast open arid spaces stretching as far as the eye can see. A stark mysterious and unexplored land full of exotic wildlife. The Kalahari contains the largest continuous expanse of sand on earth and is also home to the first people - considered to be one of the oldest cultures on Earth.

From this ‘waterless place’ or ‘the great thirst’, as it is known in the Tswana language, we bring to you stories of discovery, of desert-adapted wildlife, and of a culture where affluence is not measured in abundance.
