This arid landscape is perfect to explore from outside the confines of a land cruiser. Dry scrub rises into towering, basalt-boulder strewn mountains. In the valleys mopane thickets give clues to underground water and line dry river beds. Move quietly through these diverse habitats with your guide and you will quickly be astounded by the volume and variety of life supported in this harsh land.
Patience and persistence pay in this environment, keep an eye open and learn to interpret the signs of the bush. Listen to the shrill cry of a snake eagle, watch scorpions scurry between rocky shards, if you're lucky you may be astounded by a close encounter with the planet's largest land mammal.
