The Kalahari Desert in Namibia is often overshadowed by the more popular Namib Desert. However, a holiday in the Kalahari offers a completely unique experience. Travelers who venture into the Kalahari will discover stunning landscapes with red sand dunes that can turn green during the summer, fascinating plant life, diverse wildlife, and a glimpse into the lives of the San/Bushmen.
The iconic red sand dunes are a hallmark of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia. Another notable feature from Namibia’s Kalahari is the Kalahari salt, available in exclusive food stores. Both the salt and the red sand dunes are special due to their mineral content, particularly iron oxide in the sand, which causes the sand to rust and creates the striking red dunes visible in the southern Kalahari.
