Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
Red dunes to the horizon, black-maned lions, and the road to Botswana
Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camelthorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors... this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

This is the photograph Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park chose for themselves. When they send more, they go here.
Below it, the same ground from 2 km up — our own satellite imagery of the farm, graded to the colour of the sand.
