Rain dictates life

In this episode, we’re looking at the Kalahari Ecosystem. Botswana is a country that named its currency „Pula“ - the Setswana word for „rain“. Rain dictates life. Massive thunderstorms cross the vast open plains of the Kalahari and create heavy local downpours. The mighty Kwango river floods the Okavango Delta in the north, turning the dry sand into the worlds largest inland delta. Thousands of animals make their annual migration to grazing grounds - and in their shadows, predators like Lions follow. Let’s have a closer look at the seasons of Botswana!

Greetings! I'm Val from the expansive Kalahari Desert in Botswana. For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to conservation and tourism. Among my most cherished experiences is raising Sirga, a lioness I rescued as a mere ten-day-old cub. Through our countless journeys together, she's mastered the art of hunting, and today, we wander freely across the vast stretches of the Kalahari we proudly call home. Join me in this podcast series as I bring the captivating tales of the African bush directly to you!
