in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park / Kalahari / South Africa )
Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of
gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons,
where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane
lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors…this
is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. The Kalahari Gemsbok
National Park in South Africa was proclaimed in 1931 mainly to
protect the migrating game, especially the gemsbok. Together with
the adjacent Gemsbok National Park in Botswana, this park comprises
an area of over 3,6 million hectares – one of very few conservation
areas of this magnitude left in the world. Red sand dunes, sparse
vegetation and the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob show antelope
and predator species off at a premium and provide excellent photographic
opportunities. Kgalagadi could be considered a haven for birders
especially when interested in birds of prey.
