What you'll do

When you picture the Kalahari, it might conjure up images of endless desert, but we'd like to introduce you to the San people. As the keepers of this land and the oldest culture on earth, the chance to meet a member of this nomadic community is not one that comes around often. Head out with a local guide to meet the people who have mastered a life in the seemingly unliveable desert and see how they make bows and arrows from the flora, use plants to quench their thirst and make a fire with zero matches.
