JaniceE,

Firstly a very warm welcome to the Forum

Regarding your question, when checking in at Twee Rivieren you can just walk to the Botswana Counters and book in there as well, then when you come back from Grootkolk you can drive straight to Rooiputs. Just remember to book out from the Botswana side again when you do get to Twee Rivieren.

Hope it helps

It does help...thx so much

Yes guys, always think checking in before you drive the side road to Rooiputs,
otherwise a red faced SAN Parks tourism manager will be forced to leave his car,
run through the landscape to check your permit and punish you!

happende to me in April 2010, no joke.
We felt like criminals.

Hi
Please could someone tell me if the camping sites at Twee can accomodate 2 vehicles. There are 6 people in our party and I can see the campsites accomodate 6 persons.
Cheers, Jodie

Also is this enough time in the park to exit in Botswana
Cheers again

Camp sites at TR are not demarcated so you can camp anywhere you like depending on electricity point, length of your extension lead etc. You can park the vehicles anywhere around your camping area.



Not sure what you mean by this?

Thanks solved a lot of problems for me
Cheers

If you're using tents, bring extra tent pegs! The ground is really, really hard on some sites.

Thanks Moose but we have rooftop tents
Cheers Jodie

That's the way to do it.

I have three nights booked next week at TR camping. I was wondering what was provided for cooking and cleaning? Are there gas stoves that are usable? Are there a washing basins with hot and cold water?

Do the braai facilities for each campsite have a grid or do you need to bring your own braai grid?

Are there any electricity points that don't require those camping blue converters?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Astromat

There are no stoves of any kind at the Twee Rivieren. There is a scullery with hot and and cold water to wash your dishes and there is a laundry where you can hand wash your clothes. No washing machines. There is also a small room with normal plug points that can be used for ironing or hair dryers. Electricity at the capsite does require the blue plug.
And for the life of me I cannot remember about braai grids..probably because I do not do the braaiing...but I think you should take a grid.

Enjoy your stay

Thanks for the information, its pretty much as i expected. I stupidly forgot to check the facilities when i was there in Feb as i stayed in the chalets.

The electricity points in the room, would they be suitable for charging a camera? It's the only thing we need electricity for.

Can't wait to get on the road now.

Yes it is suitable for charging cameras...just take all relevant adaptors along. Many people use the plugs for cameras etc.....

Hi AstroMatt,

My daughter and I camped at TR in the April holidays - it was awesome !!

The electricity points do all need those blue adaptors but if you cant find one before you leave, the shop at TR has rows and rows of them for sale - they are behind the till - so hopefully might still have some. We took a long lead and the relevant adaptors and charged our camera batteries and phones inside the tent....

As for the braais - all the sites have those standard SANParks ( I think they are all the same - def the same as in KNP) built-in-braai areas made of cement with a slightly flattish round type of metal braai dish with an attached grid that you can swing around and either raise or lower a bit ...

Enjoy and have a fantastic time in the park
