Ronald made the trip – in unbearable heat and without air conditioning – much more pleasant. He was a salesman for a South African hotel group and was making the trip to Zimbabwe to see family.

With its more than 700,000 square kilometers, the Kalahari Desert is one of the largest arid areas in the world, occupying a large part of Botswana, reaching as far as Namibia and South Africa. In Tswano, one of the languages of the area, Kalahari is pronounced Kagalagadi, meaning ‘great thirst’.
In 1849 David Livingstone was the first explorer to cross this enormous desert, although many expeditions perished before and after, trying to cross it on their way north to Botswana and Angola.

Makgadikgadi Pans is part of the largest salt pan complex in the world, covering about 16,000 square kilometers of salt pans and sandy desert. The largest single salt flat in this complex measures about 5,000 square kilometers.
