Kgalagadi District, Administrative district in southwestern Botswana
The Kgalagadi district extends across 105,200 square kilometers of the Kalahari Desert, featuring sand dunes and scattered vegetation throughout the region.
The district established its current administrative framework in 1966 when Botswana gained independence, incorporating the traditional territories of multiple local communities.
The region maintains strong connections to Tswana traditions, with communities regularly gathering for ceremonies and social events that strengthen local relationships.
The district capital Tshabong serves as the main administrative center, providing governmental services and educational facilities for the population of 50,792 inhabitants.
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park occupies more than one-third of the district, creating a natural reserve that crosses national boundaries into South Africa.
