Kalahari DesertThe Kalahari Desert is a giant arid region scored with the beds of dried up rivers and vast salt pans. However, this harsh environment also provides the setting for some of Africa's fi nest game-viewing. Wildlife here includes gemsbok, springbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, eland, ostrich and cheetah, and the area also supports around 200 species of bird. The Kalahari is possibly best known for the San people (or Bushmen) - hunter-gatherers whose long history is told in ancient rock paintings throughout the area. Their way of life is seriously threatened but they survive in a few places. Edo's Camp MIDThis small tented camp on a private concession in the western Kalahari is one of the few places where the San Bushmen still reside. Each tent has a high thatched roof and a wooden deck overlooking a waterhole. The concession is home to six white rhino. Game-viewing is both by vehicle and on foot. Tau Pan HIGHSituated on a beautiful sand ridge overlooking Tau Pan, the camp has stunning views of the permanent Tau Pan water hole and the endless Kalahari horizon - its spectacular location is why we recommend it. Guests are accommodated in eight custom-built desert rooms under thatch, while the main area consists of dining room, lounge area and a viewing deck. The Makgadikgadi The Makgadikgadi is one of the most important wetland sites in Africa. Its huge salt pans remain dry and empty for much of the year, but during the rains (beginning in mid-November) the Pans are transformed into great sheets of water, which attract vast fl ocks of fl amingos and other migratory birds. This is also the only area in southern Africa where it is possible to view a migration of tens of thousands of blue wildebeest and Burchell's zebra. Mammal 'specials' in the area include gemsbok, brown hyena and springbok. Nxai Pan HIGHNxai Pan National Park adjoins Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border and is well known for its huge springbok population. Once the rains begin each November gemsbok, elephant and zebras migrate to the region in signifi cant numbers. Situated in the tree line, Nxai Pan Camp has eight tented desert rooms; all rooms have thatched roofs and insulation so it is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Meno a Kwena Tented Camp MIDMeno a Kwena means "tooth of the crocodile" and this traditional safari camp is located on a cliff top about 30 metres above the bank of the now fl owing Boteti River above a beautiful waterhole. It is a simple, straight forward camp with good game-viewing opportunities in vehicles, on foot and from the relaxing surroundings of camp itself. 36Talk to an expert 0845 130 6982SUGGESTED ITINERARYDay 1 Depart UK for Maun Day 2 Okavango Delta, 2-nights, Kwara Camp.
