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.
Owen’s filming of one of the meerkat colonies here at Tswalu colourfully demonstrates the charm and intelligence of these highly social mammals. Scientific research into the meerkat is continuous on the reserve and guests can join researchers at a burrow in the early morning to witness such behaviour at close range.
