In this overlanding road trip to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park video, unique wildlife footage, plus loads of useful tips & information, gained from personal experience, to help plan your trip when visiting the park. The park stretches across 38 000 km2 of the Kalahari Desert and is unique in that it crosses the international border between South Africa and Botswana. Visitors are free to roam within the park, without limits in both countries.
This is wild and untamed Africa, no paved roads, mobile phone or internet reception. It's remote and hard to reach, the Kgalagadi is no Kruger Park. It's truly one of Africa's last great wilderness areas, and for those who make the effort to go there, it's SO worth it!
The name Kgalagadi is derived from the San word for "land of great thirst". Water is scarce and only the very toughest survive. It's not a big 5 game reserve, animals that require abundant water like elephants, buffalo, rhino and zebra can't survive in this harsh, dry and unforgiving environment. But massive black manned Kalahari lions, shy leopards and swift cheetahs, the main big cat predators in the park, have a bountiful choice of antelope from which to choose their next potential meal.
