The Kalahari is a flat and dry semi-desert and stretches over 1,2 million kmē, covering a large part of Southern Africa. It stretches from South Africa through Namibia and into Angola as well as a large part of Botswana. In the east it reaches Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The best features are the pans, in which the rare rain accumulates and then evaporates soon after. A well-known example of such a pan would be the Etosha pan in Namibia.
The wind shaped the sand ridges, which are so typical of the landscape in the Kalahari. The remarkable nests of the weaver birds in the camelthorn trees and in other acacias are a frequent sight in the Kalahari. The dominant vegetation: grasses, thorny shrubs and Acacia trees, can survive long drought periods of more than ten months every year.
