Overview

An Expedition into the Khalahari - September 2026

Kalahari is derived from the Tswana word Kgala, meaning "the great thirst", or Kgalagadi, meaning "a waterless place"; the Kalahari has vast areas covered by red sand without any permanent surface water.

Beyond the fact of its existence, the Kalahari is relatively little known by the outside world. For centuries the Kalahari desert has remained a place of mystery; remote, apparently in-hospitable and largely unknown. What little has been reported is often inaccurate, out of context or misleading. In many cases, this has served to mask the true fascination of its vastness.

Join us on an a self-drive expedition through the Karoo and into the Kalahari, where every turn leads to a new adventure and breathtaking discovery.

"Best Customer Service"

Planning a surprise anniversary trip for my parents was daunting until I contacted the African Travel Crew. They took care of all the details, crafting a romantic getaway to Cape Town that my parents will never forget. The thoughtful touches, like a private yacht cruise and a dinner reservation at a Michelin-starred restaurant, made it extra special.
