KALACHA CAMP

Kalacha Goda is situated on the edge of an oasis in the Chalbi Desert between Maikona and North Horr, and 40 miles south of the Ethiopian border. Only by flying low across this arid wilderness can one truly appreciate the scale of its beauty and solitude. The forested mountains of South Horr and Kulal lie to the west as we continue north into the Chalbi Desert which stretches to the distant horizon...
