The Kalahari Desert is a sweeping semi-desert landscape spanning Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, renowned for its diverse ecosystems and remarkable wildlife.
The Kalahari is not a true desert but a vast semi-arid savanna covering approximately 900,000 square kilometers. It features red sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and incredible biodiversity including large populations of wildlife like lions, cheetahs, meerkats, and numerous bird species. The region is also home to indigenous San people who have traditionally lived in harmony with this challenging environment for thousands of years.
