class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the southwest part of the Kalahari, there\u2019s a park called the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It is sometimes called the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/kalahari-central\"><strong>Kalahari Desert<\/strong><\/a>. The semi-desert can be described as more appropriate. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>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.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A park that spans a boundary without any barriers is referred to as a transfrontier park (sometimes called a peace park).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kgalagadi was&nbsp;Africa&#8217;s first recognized transfrontier park! In 1999, the Kalahari Gemsbok Park in South Africa and the Gemsbok National Park in <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/botswana\"><strong>Botswana<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>united to form one national park. In 2000, it became publicly accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_climate_of_the_Kalahari\"><\/span><strong>The climate of the Kalahari<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/kalahari-central\"><strong>Kalahari Desert<\/strong><\/a> in South Africa experiences occasional rainfall that occurs during thunderstorms (November to April).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The summers are unbearably hot, with average shady temperature readings of 107 degrees F (42 degrees C). Although it can get quite cold at night, the winters (June to October) are warm and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Season_for_a_Kalahari_Safari_in_Kgalagadi\"><\/span><strong>Best Season for a Kalahari Safari in Kgalagadi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People often consider winter as the perfect season for a Kgalagadi Safari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The visibility is better for taking pictures on a Kalahari Safari.<\/li><li>Roads are in better shape, visibility is better for taking pictures on Kgalagadi game drives. And animals congregate at water spots where they are easier to see.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Additionally, living in the desert is more comfortable due to lower temperatures and humidity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, summer can also be a delightful season to visit. Lush green grass and golden desert flowers suddenly transform the parks&#8217; dry landscapes. In the summer, migratory birds also come to Kgalagadi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Kgalagadi_Transfrontier_Park\"><\/span><strong>How to Get to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your identification (passport, visa) is valid, you may enter the park from any nation. And even use it as a transit point between <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/botswana\"><strong>Botswana<\/strong><\/a> and South Africa.<strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Border crossing points are the Twee Rivieren (on the South African side) and Two Rivers (on the Botswana side) gates. Contacting the rental car company in advance allows for picking up vehicles at Twee Rivieren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Captivating_Wildlife_of_the_Kgalagadi\"><\/span><strong>The Captivating Wildlife of the Kgalagadi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kgalagadi-Wildlife.jpg\" alt=\"Botswana Wildlife\" class=\"wp-image-2170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kgalagadi-Wildlife.jpg 910w, https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kgalagadi-Wildlife-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kgalagadi-Wildlife-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kgalagadi&#8217;s limited vegetation and the fact that animals frequently gather in the dry riverbeds. Mainly Auob and Nossob Rivers make for easy wildlife viewing every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The park&#8217;s majestic black-maned lions are its most well-known inhabitants. But it is also frequented by normally elusive leopards and cheetahs.<\/li><li>There are many smaller cats&nbsp;in Africa. Such as the caracal, African wild cat, and black-footed cat.<\/li><li>White-spotted and brown hyenas are more likely to be seen. A few may be fortunate enough to view the park&#8217;s critically endangered African wild dogs.<\/li><li>Gemsbok, eland, blue wildebeest, and springbok are frequent desert-adapted herbivores.<\/li><li>While herds of giraffes somehow manage to survive on the park&#8217;s limited vegetation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other Kgalagadi delights include smaller predators. Like the black-backed jackal and the bat-eared fox. As well as spiders, families of ground squirrels, and meerkats, whose antics keep travelers fascinated for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In the park, 280 different bird species have been identified, 92 of which are year-round residents.<\/li><li>Tawny, bateleur, and black-chested snake eagles are the most frequent raptors in Kgalagadi. But owls, vultures, and other raptors are also present.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch out for tiny&nbsp;falcons and the seemingly constant presence of pale chanting goshawks. The kori bustard is Africa&#8217;s largest flying bird, and friendly weaver. Two non-raptor highlights are the enormous nests that topple fully-grown acacia trees with their immense weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activities_To_Do_In_Kgalagadi\"><\/span><strong>Activities To Do In Kgalagadi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Activities-To-Do-In-Kgalagadi.jpg\" alt=\"Activities To Do In Kalahari\" class=\"wp-image-2171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Activities-To-Do-In-Kgalagadi.jpg 910w, https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Activities-To-Do-In-Kgalagadi-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Activities-To-Do-In-Kgalagadi-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For lovers of self-drive safaris, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is a wonderland.

Each one includes a solar-powered kitchen, bathroom with gas-powered hot water, and ceiling fan. Kalahari Tented Camp features a waterhole and a swimming pool of its own. The Mata Mata rest camp, which is less than 2 miles away, is where you can get supplies the closest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_Suggestions_For_Your_Visit\"><\/span><strong>Some Suggestions For Your Visit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some tips that you should be aware of before your Kgalagadi Trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The sole store in the camp that accepts credit or debit cards and has an ATM is the Twee Rivieren shop. Bring money if you&#8217;re planning on staying at one of the other camps (although fuel stations throughout the park accept cards).<\/li><li>Reservations for lodging should be made well in advance because they frequently sell out.<\/li><li>Kgalagadi is a region with a low risk of malaria; ask your doctor if you should take medical precautions.<\/li><li>A daily conservation fee of 384 rands for adults and 192 rands for children (approx.)&nbsp;is required of all international visitors. South African nationals and nationals of the SADC are eligible for discounted pricing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High-ground clearance and low-range 4&#215;4 vehicles are advised, especially in the summer, even though they are not required on the main park roads.
