I captured this image one morning during our June 2010 trip to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in Southern Africa. This was taken from a viewing platform in the Gharagab Wilderness Camp, a small secluded camp with only 4 sleeping units (which are visible in this shot).
The camp has a seemingly endless vista over the Kalahari dune-fields, and also has a small waterhole in front of the huts which brought among others a Brown Hyena and African Wild Cat to drink in the evenings and many other animals during the day.
There aren't many game-drive paths around this camp, it's basically a 4x4 access route to it and from it back to the main Nossob riverbed. This makes it an ideal camp for a 2-day relaxing period during your Kalahari trip. We spent hours just sitting on the decks gazing over the bush.
