Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Shortage of unleaded fuel at Twee Rivieren Rest Camp! [update]

update (26 January 2021): Unleaded fuel has been delivered to the Twee Rivieren Rest Camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the limit of only 20l per vehicle has therefore been lifted.

According to a posting by Regional Communications Manager: Arid Parks at South African National Parks (SANParks), Genevieve Maasdorp, in the SANParks - Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park facebook group, unleaded fuel is currently rationed to 20l per vehicle at Twee Rivieren Rest Camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. This is due to a non-delivery of unleaded fuel to the Rest Camp. Travellers are advised to fill up their vehicles with unleaded fuel at Mata Mata Rest Camp or Nossob Rest Camp. Diesel is unaffected by the shortage at Twee Rivieren Rest Camp

The Twee Rivieren Rest Camp is situated on the banks of the Dry Nossob Riverbed. It has a reception, shop, fuel, restaurant, information centre and swimming pool. This is the only camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with 24 hrs electricity and cell phone reception. The town of Askham is located about 200 km north of Upington at the junction of the R31 and the R360 roads.
