The sun rises like a tarnished looking-glass above the burnt red sand dunes and bare plains, the deadly glinting polyclada beetle, used by the Bushmen for their arrows, struggles like an orchestra with Beethoven, the explosion of yellow from the Devils Thorn flowers paints an appealing picture.
This is but a few of the unique pictures that can be found at The Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park, one of Africa's greatest parks. Take an ancient mystical journey into a different world and be touched by the spirit of reverence and spirituality, Kgalagadi is one of these destinations offering the mysticism of the African land. This wildlife haven comprises an area of over 3,6 million hectares which is one of the very few conservation areas of this enormity left in the world.
Situated on the South African side of the park, where the Great Nossob and Auob rivers join lies the largest rest camp and administrative base, Twee Rivieren.

Picnic areas with ablution and barbecue facilities as well as a refreshing swimming pool that acts as an oasis for those sweltering hot days.
