1980 Kalahari Gemsbok national park
South West Africa now Namibia.
Trip from Cape Town in South Africa, we drove though the Namib Desert to Windhoek and Swakopmund in a Mercedes(without air-conditioning), lost hub caps and the undercarriage was sandblasted. It was a truly amazing journey.
Situated approximately 260 km from Upington in the far northern Cape and 904 km from Johannesburg.
Kalahari Gemsbok National park is the South African section of the greater Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park bordering Gemsbok National park of Botswana. The two parks combined form the largest protected area in southern Africa cutting through the dry area of Kalahari Desert for stretch of more than 35,000km² in red sand dunes, sparse desert vegetation and the dry river beds of Nossob and Auob river where the wildlife congregates for the dry season.
The rivers are said to flow only about once per century. However, water flows underground and provides life for grass and camelthorn trees growing in the river beds. The rivers may flow briefly after large thunderstorms.
The park has abundant, varied wildlife. It is home to large mammalian predators such as lions, cheetahs, African leopards, and hyenas. Migratory herds of large herbivores such as blue wildebeest, springbok, eland, and red hartebeest also live and move seasonally within the park, providing sustenance for the predators. More than 200 species of bird can be found in the park, including vulturesand raptors such as eagles, buzzards, and secretary birds.[2]
Since 2005, the protected area is considered a Lion Conservation Unit and a lion stronghold in Southern Africa.
