Union's End, Tripoint in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa
Union's End is a tripoint in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park where the borders of South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana meet. The site sits in a dry riverbed and features an information board sheltered by a reed-thatched roof, directional markers, and a picnic table.
The name comes from the period when South Africa was called the Union of South Africa, and this point marked its northernmost border. The location's significance is tied to the border history of the region.
The area contains Acacia erioloba trees, some of which are over 200 years old according to research conducted by the University of Pretoria botanists.
The location is accessible by vehicle, but be prepared for the road conditions in this semi-arid region. Bring plenty of water and visit during cooler parts of the day, as temperatures can be intense in this area.
The Nossob River flows past this location and forms Namibia's eastern border while creating a natural waterway boundary between the three nations. Some acacia trees in the area are reportedly over 200 years old.
