KALAHARI DESERT INTRODUCTION

This ancient living desert is a harsh land, a land of relentless sun and searing wind, a land of great thirst and mystery. One will be amazed at how the first rains transform this lifeless looking land into exquisite beauty with the dunes erupting in a blaze of colours. The word ‘Kalahari’ means wilderness. Its relative inaccessibility, the harsh unyielding red sand dunes, the uncertain rainfall and lack of surface water, make it truly one of Africa’s last frontiers. Its beauty actually makes it hard to believe that the Kalahari is not a true desert as it receives too much rain, but it is actually a fossil desert. The best known of the Kalahari's inhabitants are the San people (Bushmen), numbering only a few thousand and squeezed into inhospitable pieces of land. They were nomadic hunters and gatherers.
