Step into the Kalahari! With bare feet in the sand and a San guide ahead. You learn how to find water in a dry desert, which roots you can eat, and why even a dung pile tells a special story. This bushman walk in Botswana is more than an excursion, it’s a meeting with an ancient culture. Deep in the Kalahari and around the salt pans of Makgadikgadi, at San Camp, Jack’s or Camp Kalahari, you step in the footsteps of a people that has lived off the land for thousands of years. Fascinating, educational, and incredibly fun.
