Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park protects one great Kalahari landscape across Botswana and South Africa: a place of red dunes, pale grasslands, camelthorn trees and the broad, normally dry beds of the Nossob and Auob rivers. The Botswana side offers a genuinely remote desert experience, best known for self-drive camping, long-distance four-wheel-drive routes and patient wildlife viewing at waterholes. It is a superb destination for travellers who are comfortable being self-reliant and who value silence, wide skies and the slow rhythm of the desert over a tightly scheduled safari.
