Kalahari

Boasting its own special blend of beauty, the Kalahari Desert stretches some 900,000 kilometre² over Southern Africa. Spanning three countries, the Kalahari dominates Botswana, occupies the east of Namibia and rests just at the top of South Africa in the Northwest province.

With high temperatures and low, sparse rainfall, the Kalahari is a dry and desolate place, inhabited only by the clever and the wise who have adapted to the harsh climate, and too, by travellers in search of a different kind of vacation in Africa.

Dry and deserted, most of the Kalahari is comprised of vast expanses of rust-coloured sand. Scatterings of scrubland break the monotony of the landscape, while other forms of wilderness, including grasslands and savannah, interrupt the red-hot aesthetic.

Due to its largely uninhabited nature, the Kalahari is less frequented than other areas in Africa. As a result, the destination makes for a very special, ultra-exclusive vacation, one that really is off the beaten track and something to write home about.

Along with incredible views, thrilling excursions and fascinating game viewing opportunities, the Kalahari promises its travellers a truly one-of-a-kind vacation experience.
