The Destinations

Kalahari

The Kalahari isn’t actually a true desert. There’s just enough rain to leave the red sand dotted with golden grass, and support black-maned lions, cheetahs, and meerkats standing guard like tiny sentinels. Out here, the night sky looks infinite. With barely any light pollution, the Kalahari’s become one of Africa’s top stargazing destinations, drawing those who want to trade blue light for constellations. Come here to disconnect, and stay in off-grid lodges that disappear into the dunes. A rare travel experience that feels both ancient and ahead of its time.
