The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, situated in the Southern Kalahari Desert approximately and 250 kilometres from Upington, is renowned for its spectacular photographic opportunities. Spanning an area of 3.8 million hectares of red sand dunes, ancient dry river beds, clear night skies and salt pans, it lives up to its name Kgalagadi which means ‘land of the thirst”.

The sprawling park, jointly managed by South Africa and Botswana is home to a diversity wildlife, including predators, antelope, giraffe, blue wildebeest, meerkat, reptiles and various bird species which adapted to survive in the harsh dry climate.

Besides  the spectacular animal and bird sightings which the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is known for, visitors to this popular tourist destination can also add star gazing as another attraction to the park. Our photogprapher Ian Landsberg showed off his skills on a recent visit.
