Two Weeks in the KGALAGADI - Episode 1 - To Twee Rivieren & Beyond

Join us as we travel the dusty roads of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in search of wildlife.

This first episode cover the long journey from Johannesburg to the Kgalagadi with two overnight stops at the fabulous Border Hotel in Jan Kempdorp and the delightful Kalahari Kamelthorn Guesthouse in Askham. On the third day we enter the park at Twee Rivieren and take our first game drive before checking into our accomodation. Who would think that we would find cheetahs on our first day?

NOTE: The bird at 27:58 is a White-browed Sparrow Weaver not a Southern Fiscal as captioned.

Hello, first of all thank you for the extensive trip report. A report that we use as input for our visit to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park at the end of this year. The accommodations in the park are reserved, as is the Border hotel on the way there and back. What we still have questions about is the route and which roads we should or should not use. Could you tell us something about that?Robert & Bianca

Hi, just found you, greetings from South Devon UK. Loved your first video that we've watched. We have a 4 week road trip in November, postponed for 2 yrs. It'll be our 2nd trip to SA but our first to Kruger. We'll cover Panorama Route, Kruger, Eswatini, St Lucia, Drakensberg back to Johannesburg. Cannot wait! Looking forward to watching more from you.

Hi Codger,
I should image your home getting ready for a re-run to hit the parks in S.A. I've committed bookings for TR, M.M and Kalarhari tented camp May 2023. My dilemma is vehicle choice. AWD, 2WD or 4x4. In your opinion being familiar with road conditions. Will I access KT camp and M.M with a 2WD? In your previous message 2WD was good to access M.M.
Cheers. george.

Brilliant stuff, loved it!

Do you live in RSA or have you lived there before, your pronunciation of typically difficult South African name places would suggest so?

Great content, keep 'em coming.

Hi,
Did you hire a RAV4 ( 2WD ) for your adventure?
