The expansive scrublands of the semi-arid Kalahari Desert extend some 900,000km² across Namibia, South Africa, and a large portion of Botswana. It forms part of the larger Kalahari Basin that - including the desert - also supports various wetlands such as the Makgadikgadi Pans and Okavango Delta of Botswana.
