Description

Cry of the Kalahari is a gripping account of a remarkable adventure. In the early 1970s, Delia and Mark Owens embarked on a journey to the Kalahari Desert, where they lived for seven years, conducting zoology research in one of the last pristine areas on Earth.

With little more than a change of clothes and a pair of binoculars, the couple set out on their expedition, driving deep into the desert in a third-hand Land Rover. There, they encountered a vast array of wildlife, including lions, brown hyenas, jackals, giraffes, and many others.

This beautifully reissued edition of their memoir features never-before-seen, full-colour photographs of the Owens' adventure, offering a glimpse into their remarkable story of survival and discovery in the heart of the Kalahari Desert.
