Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (Botswana Section)

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park | Botswana–South Africa Safari

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park features red dunes, abundant predators, and cross-border safari experiences in southern Botswana.

The Botswana section of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP) makes up approximately three-quarters of the entire protected area and is known for its remote, wild character, requiring 4x4 vehicles for access.

Key Features
  • Immense Wilderness: The park is an unfenced area of approximately 38,000 square kilometres (15,000 sq mi), allowing wildlife to roam freely along ancient migration routes.
  • Access & Mobility: The Botswana side is more remote, and most roads can only be traveled by 4x4. Entry is possible via the Two Rivers, Mabuasehube, and Kaa gates.
  • Wildlife Hotspot: The sparse vegetation and dry riverbeds of the Auob and Nossob rivers create excellent game-viewing opportunities, where animals like black-maned lions, cheetahs, leopards, and large herds of springbok, gemsbok, and eland gather.
Campsites and Facilities Accommodation in the Botswana section is primarily comprised of basic, unfenced campsites and a few comfortable, fully inclusive lodges.
  • Mabuasehube Pan Campsite: This area features a mixture of tree and shrub savanna with open grass patches. Campsites are basic with a braai area, pit latrine, and bucket shower.
  • Mpayathutlwa Pan Campsite: Similar to Mabuasehube, these are basic, unfenced campsites.
  • Polentswa Tented Lodge: A remote tented lodge option.
  • Rooiputs Lodge: Another lodge option in the Botswana section.
Note: Visitors to the wilderness camps and most campsites in the Botswana section must be self-sufficient, bringing their own food, drinking water, and firewood, as facilities are minimal.
