Hi all,
I'm preparing a short visit in Kgalagadi from 2 to 10 january.
I prefere to reserve the rooms in advance, so, where is better to stay in this month to see wildlife?

I thougth
2-3 twee r.
4-5-6 Nossob
7- 8- 9 KTC or Mata Mata

It can be ok?
thank's!

Welcome to the forum lasabbry.

Looks good to me.

Where will you be coming from and going to?

We will come only for Kgalagadi, from upington airport

welcome to the forum lasabbry

going to Kgalagadi... soon... very soon

you have to reserve in advance, the places (chalet/rooms/cabins) fly away very fast

seems to be super, but just coming from Upington airport is a little bit short, after me
and don't forget the way from Mata Mata (or KTC is the same) is long to... Upington

but better short than nothing

Thank you for the welcome!!!
I know, it's not enough time but I can't take other holidays!
And we will spend two days on the plain, from Milan, Italy...

Do you think is possible to do Mata-Mata - Upington in one day? I hope to find the flight that takes off at 17.20.

if you run a little bit, yes for the flight of 17.20

but, with this one, you can catch an international flight

for me... I had to change with the 11h15 plane ...

MM to Upington will work in one day.

anne-marie, there are very late flights from johannesburg, so the 17.20 will be perfect!

Lasabbry, I'll be there in the same period and every year I'm spending holiday in KTP in January. The three camps you are going to visit are both perfect for wildlife. You'll be surprise of the beauty of this fantastic park. Enjoy.
Bye Luca/Italy.

I will also be in Nossob for 4-5-6 January. Can't wait to get back to my favorite place on earth!

I am currently living in the USA, but spent all my holidays as a child on my grandparents farm 50KM from the park. The farm now belongs to my uncle, and we are going to visit them for a week. This will be my 25 year old daughter's first trip to the Kalahari.

Already "test" packing my camera equipment, to see what fits to take along!!!

Herkaun Welcome to the Forum !! KTP is pretty much my favourite place on earth too and I think you have a couple of people right in your own city who feel the same .. the Armstrongs came out to SA for 18months and we got them so hooked on the Kalahari that they went there 3 times while they were here and they also miss it like crazy now they are back home

I'm hoping to be in KTP early Jan too so get that yellow ribbon ready and enjoy the anticipation - time will fly ...

welcome to the forum Herkaun

what a chance to have... a farm at 50 km from the park

enjoy, enjoy your very next trip to Kgalagadi

Thank you all for the welcome words. I will definitely have my yellow ribbon ready!

Since we only get back to SA about every three years, I take my mother (she will be 84 next year) back to the farm when we do. We will be a party of 9, so it will be hard to miss us!
