ǀAi-ǀAis/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, Border nature reserve and national park between Namibia and South Africa.
The park covers 6,045 square kilometers of desert terrain, containing the Fish River Canyon and numerous endemic succulent plant species.
Presidents of Namibia and South Africa signed an agreement in August 2003 to establish this cross-border conservation area.
The Nama people maintain their nomadic traditions within the park boundaries, moving their livestock according to rainfall patterns.
Visitors require sturdy vehicles and self-sufficient camping equipment, as the park provides only basic facilities with no mobile phone coverage.
The park contains over 360 different plant species per square kilometer despite receiving only 68 millimeters of annual rainfall.

From the windy tip of the Cape to the blue line of the Drakensberg, South Africa stacks landscapes that do not resemble each other. A morning on Table Mountain, an evening facing the whales of Hermanus, and between them red trails, deep canyons, lagoons, vineyards, and reserves where large animals pass through. Kruger opens its roads at dawn, Pilanesberg sketches an ancient crater, iSimangaliso blends reefs and wetlands. Further afield, the rugged coast preserves its cliffs, the Richtersveld its succulent deserts, and the Valley of Desolation its frozen lava columns. Here, travel is at eye and light level, to the rhythm of a vast land that changes its face at every turn.
