Join us to explore the wild heart of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, an enchanting semi-desert corner where nature shows its strength through extreme climatic conditions.
Traveling along its dusty roads, you will be immersed in an extraordinary landscape, dominated by the imposing Kalahari dunes that shine an intense fiery red under the sun. Every road and every corner of the park is an invitation to explore and capture unique moments through your camera.
The Kgalagadi is not just a place to visit, but a real experience that goes beyond photography.
Here, wild and untouched nature reveals itself in its most authentic beauty, allowing you to take photos that tell stories, that capture emotions, that are windows onto a world waiting to be discovered.
In the heart of the Kgalagadi, you will find a perfect habitat for a wide variety of life!
Here, the Kalahari lion, known for its distinctive black mane, reigns supreme. This magnificent predator is the living symbol of the park and represents the wild and untamed spirit of this area.
Alongside the Kalahari lion, the park is home to a number of other fascinating carnivores, including: cheetahs, leopards, caracals, servals, jackals, brown hyenas, spotted hyenas…
