Kalahari Desert

Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari Desert covers most of Botswana and portions of northern South Africa and eastern Namibia. The desert is part of a much larger semidesert sand basin that stretches into Angola, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The desert's name is derived from the Tswana word Kgalagadi, meaning "the great thirst."
