Kalahari Desert, Africa
The
seemingly infinite semi-arid deserts of Kalahari offer unique experiences and
unspoiled nature. A land of extremes, droughts and harsh weather, Kalahari also
supports a variety of plants and wildlife, including black-maned lions, hyenas,
cheetahs, lions, leopards, zebras, and flamingos.
The vast
space has a variety of landscapes including red sands and grasslands.
Riemvasmaak, a village in the desert, offers a glimpse into the lives of
semi-nomadic sheep and goat herders, and rides across the red sands on a donkey
cart. Augrabies Falls National Park contains the world’s sixth tallest
waterfall. The Sunqu (Orange) River flows through the region, surrounded by the
fertile Green Kalahari, complete with vineyards.
Activities
in the Kalahari Desert include safaris as well as sand-boarding down the sand
dunes, and soaking in the mineral hot springs. In the evenings, watch the
vibrant orange sunsets, and go stargazing under the clear skies of
southern Africa.
