  • In this, the third episode of the Botswana series, I continue my solo journey into the the Central Kalahari; where I share intimate game viewing experiences and bake my own bread. But the next days plans get cut short as I need to turn tails and run away from a massive impending dust storm!
    With no guaranteed place to sleep, I hold thumbs that everything works out.

    Good one ! You should have stuck the storm out in CKGR. One of the unique characteristics of the Kalahari is the build-up to and the actual thunder/dust/rain storm. Lay your hands on a book called 'Cry of the Kalahari' by Mark and Dehlia Owen - you were right there where they stayed for 7 years. Enjoy !
