Take a journey with us, traveling slowly through the fascinating arid parts of the north of South Africa, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The park is a haven for the desert wildlife of the region. We will search for wildlife—springbok, gemsbok, leopard, and other game. We will also take a night drive to see nocturnal animals. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park's landscape is dry rivers, red dunes, sparse vegetation, and home to a surprisingly large number of wildlife.
