The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park experienced exceptional rainfall over the past weekend, with Nossob Rest Camp recording an impressive 109 mm — an unusual occurrence for this part of the Kalahari, where such totals are typically accumulated over the course of a month rather than in just two days.

The rest of the park also received significant rainfall, and visitors can soon expect to see the Red Kalahari sands transform into a lush green landscape, a truly remarkable sight in this arid region.

While the rainfall brought much-needed relief to the environment, minor storm-related damages were reported at Nossob Rest Camp. These included small damages to guest tents and a few fallen trees. Some internal park roads also sustained minor damage. Visitors are therefore advised to use high ground clearance or 4×4 vehicles until the water levels have subsided and the necessary maintenance has been completed.

Park management would like to assure visitors that repair, and maintenance work is already underway, and that all efforts are being made to ensure the safety and comfort of guests.

Visitors can look forward to experiencing the Kalahari in all its rejuvenated splendour, a rare and breathtaking transformation made possible by the weekend’s rains.
