Kalahari Accommodation

 

The Kalahari is a vast semi-desert that covers more than three quarters of the whole land area of Botswana. It is a great wilderness where the intrepid traveller can find isolation and marvel at Africa in the raw. It offers dazzling white saltpans under the baobab trees, stretches of savannah where the game is plentiful and the indelible imprint of the original San inhabitants, some of whom still live in the desert today.
