Central Kalahari Game Reserve in pictures.
One of the largest protected areas on Earth, the Central Kalahari is a vast expanse of dunes, grassland and fossil river valleys deep in Botswana's interior. After the summer rains its plains green and fill with springbok, gemsbok and the famed black-maned Kalahari lions. Its remoteness and immense skies offer a profound sense of solitude and raw wilderness.
