Africa's southernmost desert, spanning Botswana, Namibia and South Africa
The Kalahari region – derived from the Tswana word, ‘Kgala’, meaning “ the great thirst” – is not only characterised by its low-lying, rust-red sand dunes, but also tufts of dry grass and dots of Camelthorn trees along with striking salt pans. Its warm colours are encapsulated in features like diverse flora and golden grass plains. The 930.000 km² Kalahari semi-desert covers the eastern third of Namibia and extends into Botswana and South Africa. Experience incredible tranquillity as you watch endless blue skies turn into a canopy of stars in the 20.000 year-old traditional homeland of Namibia’s bushmen, the San.
