The Kalahari was far, far greener than I anticipated. I had expected a dry and dusty, somewhat barren landscape. But we arrived at the end of the rainy season, and the desert had received rain only a day before we arrived, so everything was quite lush and green. As such, all the animals we saw were very well fed.
Here are a few images from my time at Kalahari Plains.

Adorable cubs and spectacular lighting on the jackal! Lovely!

Thanks Christy. I think I’m at over 6000 images now! In for some epic editing when I get home.
