Kalahari Gemsbok National Park

The Kalahari Gemsbok National Park spans 38,000 square kilometers of red sand dunes and grass plains in a semi-arid environment at 969 meters elevation.

The park, established in 1931 to protect migrating game species from poaching, merged with Gemsbok National Park in 2000 to form Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

The park territory includes lands designated for indigenous Khomani San and Mier communities, who maintain their traditional practices in designated areas.

Visitors can stay in fully equipped rest camps with air conditioning and pools or choose wilderness camps while exploring the park through guided safaris.

The Nossob and Auob Rivers in the park flow approximately once per century, yet underground water maintains the diverse wildlife population.
