The Safari In Kalahari, a vast semi-arid sandy savannah occupies much of Botswana, as well as areas of Namibia and South Africa. The Kalahari Desert spans 900,000 square kilometers in Southern Africa.
The dry environment is home to a variety of wildlife that has adapted to the desert and is of unmatched natural beauty. Ranging from the sweeping red dunes of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Conservation Area to the barren plains of Botswana’s Central Kalahari.
We’ve formulated a guide on the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. And, you’ll be able to experience a Kalahari Safari at its best.
Kgalagadi – The Arid Kalahari
In the southwest part of the Kalahari, there’s a park called the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It is sometimes called the Kalahari Desert. Although it’s more appropriately described as a semi-desert. The definition of a desert is a region with less than 255 mm of average rainfall, but the average for the entire Kalahari is a little bit higher.
- Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is located in the far southwest of the Kalahari. Where rainfall is lowest, averaging 200 mm annually and placing it inside the definition of a desert.
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park receives more rainfall as compared to a desert. The Kalahari or the Arid Kalahari is a more fitting name for this region.
- A park that spans a boundary without any barriers is referred to as a transfrontier park (sometimes called a peace park).
The Kgalagadi was Africa’s first recognized transfrontier park! In 1999, the Kalahari Gemsbok Park in South Africa and the Gemsbok National Park in Botswana united to form one national park. In 2000, it became publicly accessible.
