Well of course I had to think of the Kalahari hearing the word Dust.....
And this is what makes KTP so very special.
Some people can not imagine travelling through such a dry and harsh enviroment.
But it got it's own and very special beauty....
You have got different moods created by the dust in the air and on the roads.
The roads appear not from this world, so far away from so called "civilisation".
Then, driving the roads of the Kalahari you feel like exploring new grounds, especially in the most northern parts of the park.
Here you really can hear the silence.
I love that feeling, it is comfort food for our souls.....
You discover tracks on the roads of animals who past through, minutes, hours or even days ago.
You see Squirrels bathing in the cool sand under a tree
Meerkats digging for food
Birds having their nests right on the dusty ground
Even when animals fight, like a couple of Lions we observed at one of the boreholes, it looks completey different to fights you experiencing in the bush.
I think it is even more intense.
Sometimes I have the feeling all this dust sharpens our vision for the small beauties and we are able to enjoy a tiny blossom in the Kalahari in the middle of all that dust even more...
