Tswalu offers every photographer and film-maker a unique chance to capture their own observations of the Kalahari. But the desert and its eco-system are too complex to be defined in one image or film. The dunes and the grasslands hold too many secrets; the landscape can change in an instant with the first drops of rain.
Exploring the dune roads with a spotlight one evening, we spotted a small bat-eared fox. As we watched him, an abundance of ground dwelling woolly dhafers - a Christmas beetle like insect - were drawn to the spotlight. When he saw them, the fox began darting around in the light trying to catch the beetles in a feeding frenzy!
