If you're planning a visit to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park during August or early September 2026, there's a small but important update to keep in mind. South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced temporary maintenance closures affecting both Urikaruus Wilderness Camp and the swimming pool at Twee Rivieren Rest Camp.
The work is part of routine maintenance and should help improve facilities for future visitors.
Urikaruus Wilderness Camp closes for annual maintenance
One of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park's most sought-after wilderness camps, Urikaruus Wilderness Camp, will be closed from 10 August to 08 September 2026 for its scheduled annual maintenance.
The camp is expected to reopen on 09 September 2026.
Urikaruus Wilderness Camp is famous for its elevated cabins overlooking the Auob River, where guests can often enjoy exceptional wildlife viewing directly from their private decks. Because it offers only a limited number of units, anyone planning to stay here during the closure period should already have been contacted regarding alternative arrangements. If you're still looking to book accommodation for these dates, you'll need to consider one of Kgalagadi's other rest camps or wilderness camps instead.
Twee Rivieren swimming pool temporarily unavailable
Visitors staying at Twee Rivieren Rest Camp should also note that the camp's swimming pool will be closed from 11 August until 11 September 2026.
SANParks will carry out repairs and upgrades aimed at improving the safety and overall quality of the facility. The pool is scheduled to reopen on 12 September 2026, provided the maintenance work is completed as planned.
