Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park - Most popular Camps
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
straddles the border between South Africa and Botswana, comprising the two large national parks of the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park and the Gemsbok National Park. A vast 38,000 square kilometers, this
SANParks
destination is situated largely within the sand dunes and dry riverbeds of the Kalahari Desert. ‘Kgalagadi’ means place of thirst.
Vast and arid, the Kalahari desert is stark and beautiful. Red dunes peppered with sparse vegetation and intermittent trees are bisected by the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob rivers, which only flow briefly after thunderstorms. Water does flow in the
Kgalagadi Park
, only but beneath the soil, providing nourishment for vegetation and animals and the park is capable of supporting grass, shrub and tree savanna. Vegetation varies from the northern region, where there is shrub savannah and a series of pans, to the southern parts, where short trees, shrubs, and sand dunes dominate. The camelthorn tree, Bushman grass, Gemsbok Cucumber and Tsamma Melon are all interesting plant species to be found here.
The park is home to an abundance of wildlife. Vultures and raptors such as eagles, buzzards, and secretary birds are some of the 200 species of bird for whom the park is a habitat. Blue wildebeest, eland, red hartebeest and springbok also live in and migrate through the park, and are preyed on by Kalahari lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. The animals that inhabit this park are so well-adapted to the semi-arid conditions in the
Kgalagadi Park
that they are able to live without water, drinking water when they can and subsisting on succulent plants. Even the fascinating Kalahari lions conserve body moisture by staying inactive during the warmest parts of the day and are able to survive on moisture from the body fluids of their prey.
The largest continuous area of sand on earth, connected to nine countries in Africa and harboring several ecological zones make this a truly unique place on earth; its natural beauty and preservation of precious ecosystems and human history place the
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
on every distinguished traveler’s list of places to see.
