Getting There & Away
Buses between Ghanzi and Gaborone pass through Kang, although there's no public trans-
port into the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park - you'll need your own wheels or be prepared
to hitch.
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
In 2000 the former Mabuasehube-Gemsbok National Park was combined with South
Africa's former Kalahari Gemsbok National Park to create the new Kgalagadi Transfronti-
er Park. The result is a 28,400-sq-km binational park that is one of the largest and most
pristine arid wilderness areas on the continent. The park is also the only place in Bot-
swana where you'll see the shifting sand dunes that many mistakenly believe to be typical
of the Kalahari. This is true desert; in the summer it can reach 45°C, and at night it can
drop to -10°C.
