This area of expansive plains, salt pans, and ancient riverbeds is home to large herds of springbok, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, and the largest antelope, the eland. Made famous by Mark and Delia Owen in “Cry of the Kalahari,” we will camp here for two nights. During our stay, we will track the black-maned lion of the Kalahari.
