Kalahari Desert

The Kalahari Desert is a large, semi-arid sandy region in Southern Africa, covering parts of Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. It spans about 900,000 square kilometers and is characterized by dry savannas, occasional rain, and diverse wildlife, including animals like lions, elephants, and meerkats. Unlike a true desert, the Kalahari supports vegetation and has seasonal rains. The San people, indigenous to the region, have lived there for thousands of years, relying on its resources. Despite its harsh conditions, the Kalahari is rich in culture and biodiversity, making it a unique and important area in Africa.
