You never know your luck. Some people go to game parks and never get to see the lion or cheetah. We were just so blessed to see so much even though sometimes you drive for ages not seeing a thing, then all of a sudden you see a couple of lioness's and a black mane lion walking down the side of the road. Or you go for your last drive in the park and a couple of cheetah decide to cross the road in front of you. You need lots of patience when game viewing and the excitement is the trip, the game is a bonus. Getting pictures in focus of the game is just a cherry on the top of the cake.
The roads are good in the Kgalagadi and doable with a 2 x 4. A 4 x 4 is only required if you're staying at any of the "wild" camps like Bitterpan. There are areas with lots of corrugation so if you have a vehicle with larger tyres it does make the trip more enjoyable. You get told as you enter to let your tyres down to 1.5 bars and it makes all the difference.
Each main camp site like Twee Rieveren, Mata Mata and Nossob have little shops where you can get all the essentials so don't stress if you think you're running out of something.
The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is well worth the visit, just don't rush through too fast. Look in and under the trees for awesome sightings.
