If it's pure, natural beauty and wildlife you're after, prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary wealth of both, found throughout the magnificent Northern Cape region. Here, amid the ever-shifting sand dunes, lies one of the last, intact eco-systems on the continent. Southern Africa's Kalahari Gemsbok Park now shares an unfenced boundary with Botswana's Gemsbok National Park, and forms the magnificent game-rich Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. For adventure tours, accommodation, car hire, guided tours and safaris in South Africa - in fact, for all your Africa Travel, Trust Thompsons.

Itinerary

Highlights

Day 1: Arrive Upington
On arrival at Upington Airport, collect your hire car, and make your way to your selected desert safari lodge. If you have selected the Tswalu Kalahari fly-in option, you will be met at Johannesburg International Airport and transferred by light aircraft to Tswalu Kalahari Reserve. This unspoilt part of Africa is a reminder of what earth's landscape looked like before man's attempt to tame it. Spend the next few days, exploring the sunset red sands of the Kalahari in the Northern Cape.

Day 2: Desert Safari
This dazzling desolation is an unforgettable panorama of camelthorn trees, water holes and desert game such as spotted hyena, the black-maned lion, gemsbok and other antelope. Enjoy game drives, walks, bird watching, astronomy, archaeology and much more.

Day 3: Depart Upington
After your final desert experience, head back to Upington Airport for your onward journey. For the Tswalu fly-in option you are transferred by light aircraft to Johannesburg International for your onward journey.
