Kalahari Photographic Safari

Join our team on a Kalahari Photographic Safari and explore the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with your camera. The Kalahari is one of the largest conservation regions in the world. Kalahari is a semi-desert region with distinctive red dunes.

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is a cross-border conservation initiative with South Africa and Botswana. It is from South Africa and neighbouring Namibia and Botswana.

Our Kalahari Photographic Safari aims to discover the well-known predators, raptors, and landscapes of the Kalahari and photograph them. The park consists of two main roads along the dry river beds. These two paths join with dune roads from east to west. The watering holes are along these riverbeds. The Nossob River in the east and the Auob river in the west are on top of bedrock with shallow water level boreholes.

We will guide you on an unforgettable journey through the Kalahari, where there are endless amounts of photographic opportunities. Our Kalahari Photographic Safari will focus on game drives along the riverbeds and waterholes. There are numerous nocturnal activities due to the blistering heat of summer. The dry months are challenging, and the animals tend to focus their territories close to the watering holes.

What sets the Kalahari Photographic Safari Apart?

The Kalahari lions are unique with their black-maned appearance. The Kalahari is home to a large number of predators. The most common predators are lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. There are two species of hyena in the park. The well known spotted hyena, along with the very nocturnal brown hyena. Along the riverbeds are large Acacia trees. These trees are the perfect habitat for breeding raptors and resting predators.

The rainy season brings a well-deserved relief from the semi-desert heat. It is common to see large herds of antelopes during this season. The best way of viewing animals in the Kalahari is to take it slow and focus on some watering holes.
