The indigenous people of the Kalahari

One of the thrills of being in the Kalahari is walking with the indigenous people of this region and learning about their history and traditions. In this image, a tribesman describes his ‘right of passage’ that entails hunting down a Steenbok, killing it, skinning it and curing the hide. The hide is then crafted into a useful artefact such as this quiver bag. There are valuable skills which can be learned from the tribe from harvesting honey to knowing what plants are edible and poisonous.
