The Kalahari - Survival In...

The Kalahari: Survival in a Thirstland Wilderness is a stunning, coffee-table-sized book celebrating south-central Africa's vast desert ecosystem. This magnificent volume combines Nigel Dennis’s intimate, masterful wildlife photography with a gripping narrative by Michael Knight and Peter Joyce.
