Experience immense open spaces, vast pans and incredible beauty – the Kalahari Desert in Botswana is a place of extremity and African splendour. Kalahari in Tswana (Kgalagadi) means “great thirst” or “a waterless place”. This desert is covered by red sand without any permanent surface water.

The great Makgadigadi Salt Pans are evidence that the Kalahari Desert is not a complete wasteland at all. The Salt Pans are huge drainage areas into which the rainwater pours during the rainy season, bringing them to life. Visitors love the pans in all seasons for their stark beauty.
