Following the announcement of the closure of certain port of entries between South African and our neighbouring countries to mitigate the impact of COVID 19 (corona virus) spread; South African National Parks (SANParks) would like to clarify that the Twee Rivieren Entrance Gate is still open and will remain open for visitors to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It is only the border post that is closed.
According to SANParks, only emigration is closed at Twee Rivieren… “meaning travellers cannot enter the Park and exit to Namibia at Mata Mata or exit into Botswana through one of their gates. However you can still enter the Park and exit the park at Twee Rivieren.”
