Two River's and other Kalahari Gemsbok National Park, South Africa Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

Twee Rivieren Restcamp is one of three camps in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and is the also the main gate to the park. It is located on the South side of the reserve 270 km North from Upington.

Accomodation here includes, camping, huts, cottages, as well as spacious well equipped cottages with kitchens.

The camping facilities are quite nice as expected in South Africa. The have:
braiis
bath and showers
dish washing area
laundry
outsided lighting

The camp is just outside the main fence into the park. I didn't see or here of any nuisance animals like jackals storming the camp grounds.

It gets quite cold here as the camp is low in a dry river bed. Bring plenty of blankets if you are camping or have the appropriate sleeping bag rating. It was -6 Centigrade in July.

Unique Qualities: This is the only rest camp with a swimming pool and a restaurant called Lapa Restaurant.
Gift Shop
Store including food and cooking supplies
Petrol available

Mata Mata Restcamp is one of three camps in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It is located on the West side of the park on the boarder of Namibia (no boarder crossing).
Accomodation here includes, camping, huts, as well as spacious well equipped cottages with kitchens.

The hut (really a trailor) we stayed in was nice but power was turned off at 10pm. You need a torch until 5 am if you need to use the bathroom. And there is no heat during these times as well. Really our hut was an icebox. Make sure you have plenty of blankets no matter if you are a camping or staying in a hut or cottage.

The camping facilities are quite nice as expected in South Africa. The have:
braiis
bath and showers
dish washing area

The camp is just outside the main fence into the park. I didn't see or here of any nuisance animals like jackals storming the camp grounds.
