SANParks Mata Mata Rest Camp
SANParks Mata Mata Rest Camp
SANParks Mata Mata Rest Camp
-
Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors, this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Access to the Park can be gained through 5 gates in 3 different countries. From South Africa access is through the Twee Rivieren gate, from Namibia through the Mata-Mata gate and from Botswana through the Two Rivers, Mabuasehube and Kaa gates.
The camp has been given a major face-lift. The older chalets have been upgraded, the prefabs removed and 8 exquisite brand-new thatched chalets have been built. The new chalets all overlook the dry river bed allowing visitors to feel at one with nature.
Night drives and guided day walks can also be arranged from here.

Description
This unit is adapted for guests with mobility impairment with wide doorways, roll-in showers, grab rails, and push levers. This riverfront chalet contains 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen and living area. The first bedroom contains 2 single beds, and the second bedroom contains a double bed. The bathroom contains a shower, a toilet and a washbasin. The chalets are air-conditioned.

Outside each chalet is a patio area with braai facilities.
Where the red dunes and scrub fade into infinity and herds of gemsbok, springbok, eland and blue wildebeest follow the seasons, where imposing camel thorn trees provide shade for huge black-mane lions and vantage points for leopard and many raptors, this is the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Access to the Park can be gained through 5 gates in 3 different countries. From South Africa access is through the Twee Rivieren gate, from Namibia through the Mata-Mata gate and from Botswana through the Two Rivers, Mabuasehube and Kaa gates.
The camp has been given a major face-lift. The older chalets have been upgraded, the prefabs removed and 8 exquisite brand-new thatched chalets have been built. The new chalets all overlook the dry river bed allowing visitors to feel at one with nature.
Night drives and guided day walks can also be arranged from here.
