THE KALAHARI DESERT

Fine red sand as far as the eye can see – the Kalahari is one of the largest sand deserts in the world. From South Africa’s Northern Cape province, it stretches across Namibia, Botswana, Angola and Zambia. Most of the Kalahari Desert’s 1.2 million square kilometres are protected areas, such as the cross-border Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
