South Africa – The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

South Africa spans a wide range of landscapes and ecosystems, from coastal regions and mountain ranges to arid desert environments. This page focuses on the country’s far northern interior, where South Africa meets Botswana and Namibia within the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

The Kgalagadi is defined by vast open spaces, red sand dunes, and dry riverbeds such as the Nossob and Auob. Despite its arid conditions, the park supports a high concentration of wildlife, including large predators, antelope, and birdlife adapted to desert environments. The landscape is shaped by seasonal extremes, where long dry periods are interrupted by brief but dramatic changes following rain.

This page presents a photographic overview of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park as experienced from the South African side. The focus is on landscape, wildlife, and atmosphere, documenting the region as a place rather than as part of a broader journey through South Africa.
