10. KGALAGADI TRANSFRONTIER PARK, SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park\u00a0is a large\u00a0wildlife\u00a0preserve and\u00a0conservation\u00a0area in southern\u00a0Africa. The little visited park straddles the border between South Africa\u00a0and\u00a0Botswana and comprises two adjoining national parks: Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in\u00a0South Africa and Gemsbok National Park in\u00a0Botswana. Kgalagadi – which translates as \u201cthe place of thirst – is located largely within the southern\u00a0Kalahari Desert and its terrain consists of red sand dunes, sparse\u00a0vegetation, occasional\u00a0trees, and dry riverbeds. The magnificent park hosts abundant, varied wildlife, including large mammalian predators such as cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, and huge black-mane lions.<\/p>\n

9. HWANGE NATIONAL PARK, ZIMBABWE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Bordering Botswana, Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe’s largest game park with a hugely varying scenery, ranging from the semi desert scrub on the edge of the Kalahari in the south, to forests, granite hills and valleys of mopane woodlands in the north. The national park is home to over 100 mammal species, including lion, leopard and rhino, and is known for its large population of elephant. This game park is very accessible and all the safari camps here offer day and night game drives and most also offer walking safaris. The highest numbers of animals are spotted in the dry season (August to October) when the wildlife congregates around the shrunken water holes.<\/p>\n
