Gemsbok National Park

Gemsbok National Park
Nature preserve, southwestern Botswana.

It was joined with the Republic of South Africa's Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in 2000 to form Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It was established as a game reserve in 1932 to protect migratory animal populations that cross the border between the two countries. Its wildlife includes large herds of gemsbok, gnu (wildebeest), and springbok.
