Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park at 3.7 million hectares is one of the largest conservation areas in the world. The park gives sanctuary to herds of endemic antelope such as gemsbok (oryx), springbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest and eland. Then there are the famed black-maned Kalahari lion, leopard, cheetah and smaller game including mongoose, porcupine and honey badger. 58 mammals, 55 reptiles, countless insect and a host of plant species share the desert and dry savannah, 300 species of bird, including at least 20 species of large raptor, share the endless blue sky.

The park consists of three traditional rest camps:
• The main rest camp is Twee Rivieren which has chalets, night drives, guided day
walks, an information centre, restaurant, shop, fuel and a swimming pool.
• Nossob offers chalets, camping, night drives, guided day walks as well as a Predator
Information Centre.
• Mata-Mata has new chalets, a shop, fuel, night drives, guided day walks. There are
six upmarket unfenced wilderness camps, all allow visitors to feel at one with the
Kalahari.
Kalahari Tented Camp has 15 fully equipped, self-catering units, sleeping two to four people and a swimming pool. The camp overlooks the waterhole in the ancient Auob River. Grootkolk is small and exclusive, only 20km from Union’s End. This is the prime predator area. Kielie Krankie, situated on a high dune, has stunning views over the sand dunes. Four two-bed units overlook a waterhole. Urikaruuus, on the banks of the Auob River, is a lofted camp with four two-bed units that also overlook a waterhole. Two camps, Bitterpan and Gharagab, are only accessible by 4x4. Bitterpan, small and exclusive, is surrounded only by the silence of the great Kalahari, with four two-bed units and Gharagab, just north of Nossob, has four two-bed units that open up to beautiful Kalahari tree and savanna veld.
Mata-Mata gives direct access to and from Namibia, although use of crossing is subject to sleeping over in Kgalagadi for two nights and passport control is at Twee Rivieren.
There are only two 4x4 routes: Wildernis and Nossob Mabuasenhube
