The Bushmen of the Kalahari

In 2005 I visited the Bushmen of the Central Kalahari in Botswana, in conjunction with Survival International, a charity which supports tribal peoples in their struggle to hold onto their ancestral way of life. Many people across the world are finding it difficult to determine their own futures in the face of increasing interest from ‘the outside world’, and the Bushmen are just one of these groups. Since these photographs were taken, many of the 250 Bushmen living in the Central Kalahari have been relocated outside the reserve, and it is not known how many remain in hiding in the bush – by some estimations it could be as few as twenty-five.
