Speaker: David Hall
Topic: “Kgalagadi – An unforgettable trip!”
David visits the Kgalagadi regularly. His recent visit was in November 2025 - just after good
rains, and he found the park bursting with life. The talk will feature nature at its best, stories,
one or two questions, and of course beautiful photography from that trip! Not to be missed.
