Mata-Mata Rest Camp is a property for self catering in Kgalagadi for anyone visiting the Kalahari region.
About Mata-Mata Rest Camp
Nestled along the serene banks of the Auob River, within the western confines of the park, lies the tranquil Mata Mata Rest Camp. Embraced by the rugged charm of the Kalahari dune bushveld, this camp shares its borders with Namibia, offering a gateway to exploration.
Marking a significant milestone, the border post to Namibia unveiled its gates in October 2007, enhancing travel convenience to other parks across southern Africa. Amidst this arid terrain, the graceful Giraffes gracefully roam, a cherished spectacle for visitors to behold.
Self-Catering Accommodation
Encompassing the essence of traditional camping, Mata Mata Rest Camp stands as the modest abode amidst nature's grandeur. Here, a welcoming reception, a refreshing swimming pool, a convenient shop, and fuel facilities await guests.
Nestled under the canopy of thatched roofs, the chalets offer a picturesque vista of the dry riverbed, fostering a profound connection with the wilderness. Guests can select from a range of accommodations, including cozy two-sleeper chalets, spacious family chalets, and idyllic riverfront chalets.
For a more informed decision, peruse the detailed room descriptions and captivating photographs below.
Experience
Venture into the nocturnal wonders with exhilarating night drives or embark on enlightening guided day walks, both arranged seamlessly from the camp.
The Area
In the realm where the crimson dunes meld seamlessly with the horizon, and herds of Gemsbok, Springbok, Eland, and Blue Wildebeest traverse with the changing seasons, lies the enchanting Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. Here, majestic Camel Thorn trees provide respite for formidable Black-Maned Lions and serve as vantage points for elusive Leopards and numerous raptors.
Access to this natural wonderland unfolds through five gates spanning three countries. From South Africa, the journey commences through the Twee Rivieren gate, while from Namibia, the Mata-Mata gate beckons. Botswana offers access through the Two Rivers, Mabuasehube, and Kaa gates, inviting adventurers into this untamed expanse.

Loadshedding Facilities
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
