Kalahari Desert

While the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is actually in South Africa and Botswana it borders Namibia and you can access the park (both Botswana and South Africa sections) from the Namibian side, but you can only then leave the park back into Namibia.

This part of the Kalahari is characterised by long linear red sand dunes that are dotted with vegetation creating a beautiful blend of dramatic colours set against a clear blue sky. Above, on, in, under and around these beautiful dunes desert life thrives.

Like many parts of Namibia the Kalahari is sparesly populated with few towns and not much light pollution.
This means fantastic opportunities to look up at night and see the most incredible star display you have ever seen.

Quiver Trees are dotted individually all over Namibia but there is just a few areas where there are groups of these unique plants, in the east of Kalahari is one such location.

The San or Bushmen have lived in the Kalahari for over 20,000 years and are the only indigenous people to the Kalahari, there unique lifesyle as hunter gatherers allowed them to survive where others could not.

The Kalahri in Namibia technically is not a desert as it gets too much rain per year but the area is very "desertish" in nature and it suffers from long dry spells between rains this unusual combination creates fascinating life in a beautiful envoirnment. 

Ever wanted to just disconnect from the world?
Well the space and emptiness of the Kalahari is an ideal place to detox from modern living.
Embrace the peaceful wildness of the Kalahari.
