Kalahari: The Great Thirstland

 To all appearances, the sands of the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa
comprise one of the most barren regions on Earth. But every so often,
violent rainstorms subdue the swirling hot sands, drenching the ancient
Magkadikadi saltpans. In their wake, life re-emerges in a staggering
display of over-abundance, almost as if brought forth by the supernatural.

Kalahari: The Flooded Desert
The Okavango River flows inland through Botswana from mountains in the north, creating a spectacular delta - a permanent wetland in the heart of the desert. It supports a vibrant community of wildlife which would otherwise never call the desert home. But this world of water is no 'safe' oasis. All life here is at the mercy of the delicate balance between the desert and the flood.
