Twee Rivieren Rest Camp









Twee Rivieren Rest Camp is the main camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and administrative headquarters for the area. The camp lies at the Southern most point of the park on the dry Nossob riverbed. Until recently visitors to the park had to travel the 59kms of poor dirt road from the Tar road from Upington to the main gate at Twee Rivieren. This has recently been tarred and has made access to the park a completely different story.

Twee Rivieren offers Family Lodges, 2 and 4 bed Chalets and camping facilities. There is a fuel station, shop with basic supplies, restaurant and information centre. The most fulfilling aspect of this park is going on game drives to view the nature and wildlife in this barren yet beautiful area. There is a swimming pool at the camp. There are laundry machines down at the Camp site
Distances here are quite vast so making sure you have enough time to reach your destination is critical, especially if you allow for possible breakdowns etc..

Upington to Twee Rivieren = 265kms
Twee Rivieren to Nossob Camp = 162 kms or 3,5 hours
Twee Rivieren to Mata Mata Camp = 117kms or 2,5 hours

Gate times in the Park are strictly adhered to.
