The experience

Meet Kgalagadi through living ǂKhomani knowledge

The ǂKhomani San regained land within and beside Kgalagadi after a long restitution process.

A community-led walk places living knowledge and authority beside the park's wildlife story.

Experience FAQ

Walk the Kalahari with a ǂKhomani San guide

Q01Who should lead this experience?

A guide authorized through the ǂKhomani San community, not an outside narrator presenting Indigenous knowledge as generic desert lore.

Q02What does the walk cover?

The community offers adaptable walks focused on tracks, plants and knowledge developed through long relationship with the Kalahari landscape.

Plan with Alex

Plan a ǂKhomani-guided walk

Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.

We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.

Portrait of Alex

I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
