NICHOLAS LUARD travels 2,000 miles over the sands, accompanied by his wife Elizabeth - a painter, 3 companions and an old 'white hunter', to complete their expedition through the Great Kalahari.
Luard always wanted to visit the Kalahari, grey, grim, featureless, a barren wasteland, scorched by pitiless African Sun. Three countries share the Kalahari - South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Luard hires Syd Youthed, a professional hunter and guide, who brought with him two Tswana camp hands and a cook. Their safari included heat, thirst, sand, scrub, thorns, malaria, tsetse flies and bush guerrilla war.
