THE KALAHARI DESERT - NAMIBIA
Ancient home to the Bushman / San people; characterized by linear, orange/red sand dunes,
                       long periods of drought and unique Flora, Fauna & landscapes


An entire, multi-page website will never be enough to portray the many faces
of the Kalahari Desert, its wildlife, Flora or its human inhabitants.

The moods of the Kalahari, its unusual orange/red, linear sand dunes or its gratitude towards
each drop of rain, can only truly be appreciated by the vegetation, creatures and human life
dependent on the desert for sustenance, protection and survival - those who call the Kalahari
their home.

We are only visitors, onlookers who will experience something new with each successive visit, 
a different story heard from every individual visitor. Why? Because the Kalahari gives to each 
what he/she came to seek in the first place. The mood of the desert at the time of your visit can 
never be predicted, ordered or altered - nor can the weather.

The photographs on this page are therefore a general cross section of the Kalahari desert, and 
they are particularly relevant to those safaris in the Seven Wonders of Namibia collection, that
have the Kalahari desert included in the itinerary.
