Its probably only 200 or 300 meters of soft sand to the campsite, and I wont want the stress of tackling that final stretch at a higher speed just to make it. A sedan might not make it, but a 2x4 bakkie might just make it

Luca, I will take a photo for you of the road condition when I go past Polentswa in two weeks time,and post it as soon as I am back!

We are first timers for Kalagadi and want to know if you can camp at Poletswa without dong the wilderness route and how many days at a time may you camp there?

Yes, you can camp there without doing the wilderness route, and you can stay as long as you want at the site.

Ecospook - you need to book to camp at Polentswa through the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks. You also need to obtain a permit to enter the Botswana side at the Twee Rivieren gate.

Please could tell me site and email to book on Kgalagadi Botswana camp side on line? Please send me private message.
Many thanks.
Luca/Italy.

Hi Kgalagadi Guru / Jan,

We are planning a trip to Botswana and on the return visit Kgalagagi (again!).

We plan to enter via Kang at the Kaa gate on our way to Nossob and Bitterpan.

What is the correct procedure in respect of bookings and entry permits?

Thanks,

Spikes / Pieter Hugo
