In an odd finger of South Africa in the Northern Cape, jutting north and surrounded by Botswana in the east and Namibia in the west, is the giant Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It is one of South Africa's largest parks after Kruger National Park. Kgalagadi was officially launched in 2000 as the first transfrontier, or ‘peace park’, in Southern Africa, by merging South Africa's vast Kalahari Gemsbok National Park with the even larger Gemsbok National Park in Botswana.
