Amidst the moving sand dunes they find human bones with just some blood on it, and identify them to belong to two of the missing men; then these disappear again, and they observe a strange monster, which according to a native former herdsman is known by the local people as Esikhulu. It"s able to (dis)appear, survive shotgun hits, fatally "incorporate" human bodies -picking them off one by one- and make water turn acid...
