Lodge Review: Mata-Mata Rest Camp, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

We only had 2 nights here and wish we had more as this place was amazing!  Mata-Mata Rest Camp is the perfect solution for people who want to feel like they are in the remote wilderness yet still have the convenience of 2wd sedan car access.

Mata-Mata is a very small camp with limited facilities so book online in advance and make sure you have enough food and drink with you to last your stay.  We took one of the budget chalets (shown in yellow).

“Please can I have some of your sandwich”?

The correct answer is no!IMG_0889 IMG_0890

You can book these excursions with rangers for both evening and night safaris.  Book them with reception as soon as you arrive.   More on that later!IMG_0897
