Travelling to the heart of the Kgalagadi Desert

I wonder how many WA members have ever been to Kgalagadi or have an Idea about the Kgalagadi desert?

The Kalahari Desert is a large Semi arid sandy savannah in the Southern Hemisphere extending 900,000 square kilometers (350,000 sq mi), covering much of Botswana and other parts of the neighboring Namibia as well as other parts of South Africa. It has huge tracts of excellent grazing after good rains; the Kalahari supports more animals and plants than a true desert. There are small amounts of rainfall and the summer temperature is extremely high whilst winter is as cold as you cant imagine. The surrounding Kgalagadi Basin covers over 2,500,000 square kilometers (970,000 sq mi) extending farther into Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, The Kgalagadi is home to many migratory birds and animals. It is the havens for wild animals from antelope to giraffes, and for predators such as lions and cheetahs, the pans mostly know as salt pans attracts animals and use them mostly as drinking spots, leopards and cheetahs are still at an abundance mostly in the quite areas.. The area is heavily grazed and cattle fences restrict the movement of wildlife. Among deserts of the southern hemisphere, the Kalahari is most know to closely resembles some Australian Desert for those of you who are familiar with the Australian.

Tomorrow I will be traveling to the Kgalagadi desert where I grew up where you can experience the full sun set and enjoy the Kgalagadi pans/salt pans as seen on the picture
