Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, located in the arid region straddling the border between South Africa and Botswana, is one of the largest conservation areas in the world. Covering approximately 38,000 square kilometers, the park is a haven for wildlife, including iconic species such as lions, cheetahs, leopards, and an array of antelope. The landscape is characterized by red sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and dry riverbeds, creating a stark but stunning natural beauty. Established in 2000, the park is a pioneering example of cross-border conservation, promoting wildlife preservation and eco-tourism while fostering cooperation between the two nations.
