About this Broadcast
Kalahari
Season 1, Episode 4
Simon travels across the Kalahari desert in southern Africa, one of the continent's last great unspoilt wildernesses. He begins his journey in a small village in Namibia's Nyae Nyae conservancy, where he sets out on a hunt for wildebeest with San trackers, who still live in the traditional way. After weeks of dusty travel, Simon ends his journey in the Okavango Delta, where seasonal rains turn the desert in to a vast oasis of greenery
