Kalahari Red Dune Route
Mention the word Kalahari and it evokes images of flowing red dunes; herds of majestic gemsbok; pronking springbok and twisted camelthorn trees.... Kalahari Red Dune Route starts 50km from Upington on the R360, heading to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
The Kalahari Red Dune Route showcases the Kalahari birdlife through a wide range of guest farms/houses and Lodges.
