The rich wildlife of the Kalahari
The Kalahari Desert came into existence approximately sixty million years ago, at the time when the continent of Africa itself was formed, and covers Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. It is not a true desert as rainfall has created wide grazing areas, supporting an impressive range of animal and plant life.
