Orange River Drift with Kalahari Sand

Overview

An arid wildlife expedition from the Cape Winelands into two of the country's great deserts. Days tracking predators in the Kalahari, black-maned lions among them, lead to drifting down the Orange River through the Richtersveld after largemouth yellowfish. The Cape's wines are there to look back on it all.
