- It's time to leave the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, but not before one final morning game drive. When we get back to camp a storm is brewing, so we reinflate the tyres, hitch the trailer and hit the road. Along the route we get slowed down by a massive mining vehicle but we eventually arrive at #Augrabies #Falls National Park. We were too busy filming for a client in the park, so we didn't film any behind-the-scenes, but we catch up again on the final stretch back #home.

In this wildlife filmmaking behind-the-scenes series, Rob and Andy travel to Rooiputs in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Rooiputs is the name of the waterhole, campsite, and lodge 25km up the Nossob river from Twee Rivieren/Two Rivers. On this safari our primary objective is to find and film caracal, but we are also looking for general Kalahari wildlife: lion, cheetah, leopard, raptors, gemsbok, cape cobra, and all the smaller species that make this part of the world so special. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is a massive game reserve and national park in the Kalahari. It occupies an area of 38 000 square kilometres. The reserve spans both South Africa and Botswana and borders Namibia. Rooiputs campsite and lodge are across from Rooiputs waterhole, on the Botswana side of the dry Nossob riverbed that marks the border between South Africa and Botswana. The harsh Kalahari environment, vast red dunes, and ancient riverbeds support a fascinating variety of desert-adapted species, making this conservation area a very popular destination for wildlife photography and cinematography. Unlike most of our adventures, in this series we are only visiting one location and thoroughly exploring a small section of the park in search of the elusive caracal. Follow along as we set up camp in the unfenced wilderness campsite and attempt to capture footage of the park's diverse and majestic wildlife.
