"Twee Rivieren Rest Camp review"
The gas station was not able to adjust our tires here due to broken equipment. This meant an uncomfortable ride to Matamata." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 9n in South Africa

"Twee Rivieren Rest Camp - a good start."
The rooms seemed clean, very well equipped and comfortable.
The restaurant was simple and the quality of food was average. Service was attentive.
Although they offered some activities (night/ late afternoon game drives), which by the way seemed popular, we did not hire those services." See all these reviews: 14n in South Africa

Our second concern relates both to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park itself and Twee Rivieren. We write about these together as it seems they share the same administrative staff. Our welcome to the Park was perfunctory and no information was provided either by the person who received us, nor by any of the displays visible.
We had to inquire if there was a park guide." See all these reviews: 7n in South Africa

We didn't spend much time in the camp, as we headed straight out to explore the Kgalagadi as soon as we arrived - but it is a useful stopping point (especially at the start or finish of a trip to the Kgalagadi). Top Tip - pack resealable freezer bags (large ones) to "double bag" frozen meat into to stop it leaking in the care as it defrosts!" See all these reviews: 11n in South Africa

Sitting out in the evening this year was eerily quiet. There was no hum of activity as people prepared their barbecues and I missed that. However there is a shop, restaurant and fuel station." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
"Perfectly good stopover at entry to the Park"
The lodge is functional and there is no game watching apart from the organised evening drive. The journey here was a very easy 3 hours from Upington. Staying awake after the flight will be the main challenge! Stock up with all the essentials at Pick and Pay in the centre of Upington. You can't miss it!
Obviously you need to fuel up at Twee Rivieren. Also you need to reduce tyre pressures for the sandy roads in the Park. The petrol station staff were very helpful with this operation. Our Nissan double cab had a spare petrol tank fitted. Very useful but the design means that putting 50 litres in takes a full half hour, due to continual air-locks."

We had expected something far more basic, and yet everything we needed was provided, it was good to be cooking our own food and the AC was so powerful, we were really warm at night.
The next morning we discovered that we had a puncture, and several adept men who were waiting for their parties to take them into the Kgalagadi stepped forward to help." See all these reviews: 24n in Namibia; 11n in South Africa
