The Kalahari desert is a must.

A place so different in the desert and to see wildlife here is spectacular. The night game drives is a MUST. To hear the lions roar at night. Mata Mata River camp has beautiful accommodation while Nossob is more basic. True africa wilderness experience.

Kgalagadi feels wild and remote.

There is basically only one main 'road' through this park, with a lot of very deep sand roads, and you have to be lucky with the wildlife. We had some excellent cheetah and lion sightings. There is one big camp on the South African side with all the mod cons, including a fuel station, but if you want the more rugged experience camp on the Botswana side.

You can't compare Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with any other park because it is special in its own way. It has its own special charm and atmosphere. The springboks Oryx and wildebeest are abundant. So is a number of predator birds. If you are lucky you will see lions cheetahs and leopards.

The camps have bird hides where you can see predators drinking water at night. Facilities at the camps are very good.

It is recommended to take the night drives. One out of three is usually very good.

It is dry and hot during the day and can get very cold at night.

We saw much more wildlife, but not so much as in Etosha.
