Explanation:

Kalahari Desert is a large semi-arid sandy savannah in Southern Africa extending for 900,000 square kilometres (350,000 sq mi), covering much of Botswana, and parts of Namibia and South Africa.
Dense fogs are formed at the places where cold and Warm Ocean currents converge e.g., near Newfoundland and Grand Brnks (due to convergence of cold Labrador Current and warm Gulf Stream) and near Japanese coasts (due to convergence of cold Kurile current and warm Kuroshio Current). Important foggy areas of the USA are California coast.
