Last week, Jason and I went to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR). It was sad, but fitting that our last adventure was the first one that we had talked about.

The CKGR is a magical place. I'm not sure if anyone could spend enough time there. It was so quiet that the wind roared in the dry grass. The grass glowed gold in the sun and the sky was an electric baby blue. Briefly looking over the pictures, I am very depressed that the camera captured none of the CKGR's beauty. The pictures do not show how the landscape glowed or the majesty of the antelope grazing.

Highlights include seeing the Kalahari lions with their black tinged manes (which contrasts with the Moremi gold lions) and 7 honey badgers within a few kilometers of each other. The beauty of the open space cannot be described by me. We spent the week commenting on how many people we were seeing. However, upon reflection we only saw 1-3 cars a day. Not bad, eh?
