Location of the Kalahari Desert
The Kalahari desert is located in south west Africa. Most of it lies in Botswana, and some lies in Namibia and South Africa. The area in which the Kalahari desert now lies was once a shallow water basin. The exact events that happened are unknown, but a theory is that before humanity began is that the Okavango, Lewando and Zambezi rivers flowed into a single channel that is now the kalahari desert and then into the sea. The latitude of the Kalahari desert is 23 degrees south.
