It protects around 40,000 km2 of Kalahari semi-desert. It is jointly administered by South Africa and Botswana, which is why it is possible to enter the country from South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. The south-western and thus the South African part is well developed. The three large camps Twee Rivieren, Nossob and Mata Mata are fenced so that you can camp in peace, while the other camps, which consist of small huts or tents, are open. The main connecting roads consist of gravel or sand and are generally passable for cars, unless a thunderstorm has made the roads impassable. Rain or thunderstorm season is usually from December to April, but every rule is without exception. Then you&#8217;re glad to have a 4&#215;4 and decent ground clearance.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Kgalagadi_map.pdf\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-454\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-454\" src=\"https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/PDF-150x150.png\" alt=\"PDF\" width=\"75\" height=\"67\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Kgalagadi_map.pdf\">Kgalakgadi map and brochure<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>From Twee Rivieren to Nossob<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The 160 km on gravel and sand are difficult to ride in some places due to the &#8220;corrugated metal&#8221;.
