A large desert in Southern Africa (8)

I believe the answer is:

kalahari

(Other definitions for kalahari that I've seen before include "This desert is a barren plateau in Botswana" , "In very dry area" , "SW African desert" , "Desert of southern Africa" , "South African desert" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
