Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

gemsbokCombining the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park (South Africa) and the Gemsbok National Park (Botswana) this Peace Park covers over 3.6-million hectares of wilderness.

 

Located in the extreme south west area of Botswana, the park is one of Africa's last remaining conservation areas of this size.

The landscape is made up of red sand dunes, sparse vegetation
and the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob.

In the southern part of the district near Bokspits, are large, red dunes which are a spectacle to watch and a challenge to climb.

Because of its tough terrain, many parts of this district remain virgin waiting to be experienced. The vegetation consists of acacia woodland, acacia scrub, and savanna grasslands.

Despite this dryness and low rainfall, the Kalahari supports
a diverse and abundant mammal fauna.

Accommodation

Camping Facilities
there are a few camping sites most of which are still undeveloped. Visitors should be entirely self sufficient although in an emergency, water can be obtained from the Game Scouts camp.

Campsites on the South African side can be found at Nossob, Twee Rivieren and Mata Mata as well as shops where you can purchase fuel and foodstuffs including meat and vegetables.
