Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, located in both Botswana and
South Africa, extends over 15,000 square miles (38,000km²) of the
southern Kalahari Desert. About three quarters of the park lies in
the extreme south-west of Botswana, locally known as the Gemsbok
National Park. Visitors to the park can witness the fragile balance
between migratory animals and their predators in this harsh,
semi-arid environment, a true African safari experience. There are
campsites available for visitors but other tourist facilities are
very limited in the park.

Money
The unit of currency is the Botswana Pula (BWP), which is
divided into 100 Thebe. The word 'Pula' means rain and 'Thebe'
means shield. The shield appears on the national coat of arms.
Major credit cards are widely accepted, and travellers cheques and
foreign currency are accepted at most large hotels and lodges.
There are banks and exchange bureaux in all the main towns, as well
as ATM machines. Surcharges are often high on travellers cheques,
and it is best to carry cheques in US Dollars or Pounds
Sterling.
