Travellers planning a safari in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park during March 2026 should take note of temporary shop operating hour changes at several rest camps.
According to South African National Parks (SANParks), the adjusted schedules are part of routine monthly stocktaking and will affect the camp shops at Nossob Rest Camp, Mata Mata Rest Camp, and Twee Rivieren Rest Camp on specific dates.
While these short closures are temporary, visitors travelling through the park during this period should plan grocery and supply purchases in advance, especially if relying on camp shops for food, fuel, or other essentials.

Travel Tips for Visitors
If you are visiting Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park during these dates, a little planning will help avoid inconvenience:
- Buy groceries and supplies in advance, especially before arriving at affected camps.
- Stock up the day before the scheduled closure if you are staying overnight.
- Plan fuel and essential purchases early, particularly if you are travelling long distances between camps.
Routine operational adjustments like these are common in remote national parks. With a bit of preparation, travellers can still enjoy a smooth and memorable Kalahari safari experience in one of southern Africa’s most spectacular desert wilderness areas.
