Today's Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park emerged from the merging of the former South African Kalahari Gemsbok National Park and the former Botswana Gemsbok National Park, covering approximately 38,000 square kilometres.
After formalizing their cooperation in nature conservation, the two states established South Africa's first cross-border conservation project in 2000.

Under the condition that they do not leave the park on the other side, visitors are free to move between both parks without passport control.
The ecosystem of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park should be treated and considered as a unity; this proves to be a significant advancement for conservation.
The area of the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park is considered the Khomani Cultural Landscape. Inhabited since the Stone Age, this vast, barren land has shaped the way of life, knowledge, and culture of its inhabitants. Since 2017, this landscape has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The park is aptly named Gemsbok National Park, as gemsboks (oryx antelopes) are indeed always to be found in the strongly arid landscape. Besides them, there are plenty of other antelope species, sizable ostrich herds, giraffes, and some predators like lions, cheetahs, and with a bit of luck, even a leopard can be spotted.
