Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons. Where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors…this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. The Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa proclaimed a National Park in 1931 mainly to protect the migrating game, especially the gemsbok. Together with the adjacent Gemsbok National Park in Botswana, this park comprises an area of over 3,6 million hectares – one of very few conservation areas of this magnitude left in the world. Red sand dunes, sparse vegetation and the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob show antelope and predator species off to spectacular advantage and provide excellent photographic opportunities. Kgalagadi is also a haven for birders, especially those interested in birds of prey. Kgalagadi (SA) has six different camps of varying size, facilities and cost. The Three traditional camps that have a basic shopping facility and fuel found on the South African side of the Park
Look for these:
Gemsbok – these large striking desert antelope are the emblem of the park.
Suricate (Meerkat) – these hyperactive little omnivores have a wonderfully intricate family structure.
Black-maned Kalahari Lions – Physically impressive, they are the kings of the Kalahari Desert.
Sociable weavers – the busy little birds construct huge communal nests.
Pygmy falcons – the park is famous for its birds of prey. This is the smallest falcon in Africa, often seen around Sociable Weaver colonies preying on the birds.
