Twee Rivieren Camp in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: temporary closure of filling stationk

[Niel]

I receive the following communication pertaining to the filling station at Tweerivieren.

We engaged with Total South Africa to initiate a process to upgrade our Filling Stations in the Park and a contractor has been appointed to start with the work on the Filling Station at Twee Rivieren that will commence shortly. The upgrade will include the replacement of the underground fuel tanks, driveway, water drainage system and fuel pumps. The project will be completed over a period of three months with construction work to take place daily between 08h00 and 16h30 from Mondays to Saturdays. During this process we will only sell diesel fuel from a temporary above ground supply tank that will be situated in the camp reception area. It is not possible to store and sell unleaded petrol from a similar tank system and we hereby request park visitors to fill up their vehicles on route to the park at Askham that is situated ±74km’s from the park on the R360. Diesel and Unleaded fuel will be available at our other two main camps Mata Mata and Nossob. We look forward to your visit to the park and please accept our apology for any inconvenience that you might experience with fuel supply at Twee Rivieren during your visit. We aim to improve our facilities in the park for the benefit of our valued customers. For inquiries please contact us via e-mail at Kgalagadi@sanparks.org or phone us at 054-5612000.

Kind Regards

DO expect shortages at Nossob !!!!!!!!!


Last time we were there guys missed their flights - they had to wait two days for fuel before they could leave the park !


I also remember filling up halfway between Upington and the park at one of the small dorpies. Best to plan around these points, and take extra jerry cans.
