The town of Tshabong, the administrative centre of Kgalagadi District, in the Kalahari Desert, Botswana. Although this is mid-winter – the dry season – there is still a fair amount of foliage outside the town, beyond the immediate grazing range of goats and camels. The mast is probably a microwave transmitter, linked to Botswana Telecom's landline network (no mobile phones in Botswana in 1995!). Taken in mid-1995 on film.
Domesticated camels grazing in Tshabong, Botswana. The town is the administrative centre of Kgalagadi District, in the Kalahari Desert, and the camels are used for transport, particularly by the police. Taken in mid-1995 on film.
