Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rietfontein?
The best area to stay in Rietfontein is directly within the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, as accommodations outside the park are very limited.

For travelers seeking an authentic safari experience with direct access to wildlife, staying at one of the park's main camps like Twee Rivieren, Nossob, or Mata-Mata is ideal. These camps offer a range of lodging options from chalets to family rooms, often equipped with basic kitchen facilities. They serve as excellent bases for self-drive safaris, allowing you to venture out at dawn to spot animals along the riverbeds and return to a comfortable rest.

Couples looking for a more secluded and intimate experience might prefer one of the wilderness camps such as Kieliekrankie or Bitterpan. These camps are smaller, more remote, and typically offer a quieter setting with fewer amenities, offering the natural surroundings. They require a 4x4 vehicle for access and provide a truly immersive bush experience.

For families, the larger camps like Twee Rivieren are often a better fit due to their greater accessibility, on-site shops for essentials, and a wider variety of accommodation types that can comfortably house multiple guests.
