Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park General Information

[Mel]

Go to Rooiputs ...Kids under 12 allowed (Bots side ) Real Wilderness feel unlike Grootkolk etc on SA side

I don't own any camping equipment

Try the Rooiputs Lodge

Quite expensive that one

Of the three Mata Mata is the best.

Of course if you ask Mel, Ex or Nan, they will not have my opinion

I am afraid that the kids will be bored.

True. I would go to Nossob. More action at the waterhole

Some people say Nossob is too busy

I can't be certain, but I think you might find it okay, mainly staying in Kruger otherwise.

Busy they all are.

But Nossob's got the advantage of offering two roads to drive, so morning traffic splits up a bit,
while driving out from Mata, you only got one choice. Plus, KTC is only 4 km away and if there
is something in the road that they found first you'll head into a major road block from which
it'll be hard to get away.

Also, over our at least last two (says the SO, I say it was even three) trip the area up north was generally
rather quiet game wise. True, you'll find interesting things there if you're lucky, but chances are better
around Nossob, methinks.

Maybe do something like 2 nights Twee, 3 Nossob, 2 Mata (or 1 Twee, 3 Nossob, 2 Mata, 1 Twee for easier
access and departure) when you are planning to stay for a week.

In the 1970's to late 1980's we had Nossob to ourselves camping on our 3 week stays in prime April/May time and got highly irritated when another family arrived to stay in the units for a couple of nights . These days ALL SA Camps are busy and chock a block full 365 days of the year

Alf your Kids will Love the camping experience ..best investment you can make getting a tent and a gas cooker and sleeping bags to experience Kruger/Kgalagadi etc outside a house which they get at home and you SAVE money !!Pic of us and another family and ourselves deep in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve Botswana listening to distant thunder and much closer lion ...My kids are busy leaving SA in their late 30's but they will never forget the 'Africa Experience' I gave them as kids
