Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park Botswana
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, officially opened in May 2000, has been de facto in existence since 1948 through a verbal agreement between South Africa and Botswana.
The 37 991 km² transfrontier park consisted originally of the Gemsbok National Park in Botswana (proclaimed in 1971) and the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa (proclaimed in 1931), and was subsequently extended to incorporate the Mabuasehube Game Reserve.
This park, 27% of which is in South Africa and the remainder in Botswana, represents a large ecosystem relatively free of human influence, an increasingly rare phenomenon in Africa.
