The Mata Mata Border Post rest camp
in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

A 2,5 hrs. drive from the Twee Rivieren entrance to the Kgalagadi, Mata Mata border rest camp nestles on the banks of the mostly dry Auob river.

Its location is on the western boundary of the Park, which is also the border between South Africa and Namibia.

Situated in prime game viewing territory, it is surrounded by thorny Kalahari dune bushveld.
