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.
The word Kalahari is often synonymous with dry desolate environments devoid of water and life. In fact, the Kalahari is a massive expanse of land covering over 2.5 million km² with many different types of habitats. In this southern section of the Kalahari, often referred to as the Green Kalahari, summer rainfall can bring an adundance of water. Here, Head Field Guide Marco Tonoli, heads up into one of the catchment areas in the Korranberg mountains to explore the results after a Kalahari summer thunderstorm.
