Why not stay a little longer? The Kgalagadi combines very well with a number of interesting destinations and suggested itineraries.
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 Park.
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park comprises an area of over 3,6 million hectares which is 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 at a premium and provide excellent photographic opportunities.
Usually only visited by local South Africans given the limited accommodation options within the National park, your Wild Eye guide holds the key to will unlocking this destination and entirely new world and experience for you during this small and intimate Privately Guided safari into the Kgalagadi.
