FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why should I visit the Kalahari? What is it about Kalahari that makes it special?

 
The Kalahari Desert is a large basin-like plain located in the interior plateau of Southern Africa. It stretches across most of Botswana, eastern Namibia and parts of the Northern Cape province in South Africa. It is estimated to cover an area of 9,30,000 sq km and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, well adapted to this unique landscape. It is also the traditional home of the San Bushmen, known as 'the first people' and considered one of the oldest cultures on Earth. Relatively unexplored, it offers one of the most unique wildlife experiences on the globe.
