Entrance to Namibia
The Mata Mata Border has been opened, but only bona fide tourists to the Park can use the access facility between South Africa and Namibia. Tourists are required to stay over for two nights in one or more of the overnight facilities of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Tourists from Namibia may make use of the new entrance to Kgalagadi, as a day or overnight visitor access point without checking in with the border officials at Twee Rivieren as long as they return to Namibia. If, however, a tourist leaves the Park to go in to South Africa or Botswana they will have to go to the passport control at Twee Rivieren.

Hours:
Summer and winter 8:00 – 16:30

Very good, but the collection in the shop is very poor - at least it should have potatoes.

The layout of the chalet was perfect, and we could not wish for a better setup. The annimals at the waterhole made the stay even better. We were very impressed.
