The light is special there yes, but in summer that timespan is amazingly short it's bizarre. You drive off when gates open 5:30 and hope to have a good sighting between 5:30 and 7. After that the light is getting too harsh and temperatures are already through the roof. Especially big cats are flat on the ground under a bush from let's say 8AM till evening (and evening sightings were always a bit less than morning ones. Add to that that the heat doesn't help with getting tack sharp photo's, especially when there is no wind). If you are lucky they start moving again before gates close. So, yeah,.. that can be a little stressy. And i have to add, that between some sightings we had days of seeing nothing, so luck is a very important factor with such safari's.

I completely agree about the luck factor and the scarcity of the viewing.
I guess you did the Kalahari from SA side. You could also do Kalahari from Botswana side and will get great results and also no gates to worry about. You can actually camp out in the Kalahari under the stars
