Visiting the Kalahari Desert was one hot experience, literally! Me and a tour guide took a jeep through the western part of the Kalahari Desert. I was suprised to see some plants and grass there. The Kalahari Desert covers about 360,000 miles. It is located in southern Africa. Long chains of crescent-shaped dunes cover the entire western part of the desert. Despite the fact that it doesn't rain much in deserts, the Kalahari has a well developed amount of plant life. Animal life in the Kalahari is diverse. The animals that you might find here in the Kalahari desert are springbok, wildebeest, and oryx. One animal I saw the most on my trip was the meerkat. These cute little "fellas" make there home in t
he Kalahari Desert. There homes are interconnected burrows and tunnels underneath the sandy soil. What I thought was most unusual is something thetour guide told me. He said that meerkats share burrows with african ground squirrels. Meerkats eat insects and birds. They also eat small eggs, lizards, and snakes. Some people live in the Kalahari desert. These people that live in the desert speak Bantu. Bantu is a language that is made up of 400 closely related languages. The Kalahari is bustling with activity!
