... and home to black-maned Kalahari lion, leopard, cheetah brown and spotted hyenas, along with semi-migratory wildebeest, eland, gemsbok, hartebeest, ostrich and springbok, among many other smaller wildlife species.

KD2 is a vast, unfenced wilderness adjoining Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It contains picturesque acacia savanna landscapes and spectacular salt pans. It is an important wet season calving ground for herds of springbok and wildebeest, in addition to the largest free-ranging eland population remaining on the African continent.

KD2 forms part of a wildlife corridor that stretches from KTP in the south as far north as Kafue in Zambia.

There are 2 campsites to visit in KD2. Please note that due to poor communications in the village, it is not possible to reserve a campsite. However the area sees little traffic, so you may be the only one out there.

The wilderness campsites beyond Zutshwa at Kaa and Name pans are accessible by 4WD only!

This is one of the last great wild areas of the world. Please treat it with respect. Visitors must be fully self-sufficient and assume all responsibility for their survival when venturing into KD2.
