were heading to mata mata rest camp
our spot for tonight and this is the auob riverbed as you can see it's not actually a river apparently it
only flows once a century it's not due to flow for another 70 odd years
but traffic like this
only means one thing which is lions
birgit is on gate duty, she blends in with the gate
we could only get a family chalet when we booked at the last minute so i had to take
what was available the chalets are a little bit dated but very very nice very comfortable
everything you need clean towels clean bedding nice shower although i have to say our particular
shower didn't have any cold water only had hot but we managed to get a shower in anyway
the water all over the kgalagadi is very soapy so you know after you've showered you kind of
feel that you've still got soap all over you but that's the throughout the kgalagadi
we only spent one night here because we could only get one night in the camp
it's really nice it's a really nice camp it's quite small
and the vibe in the evening especially was really nice you know just people enjoying themselves
braaing
there's a nice uh viewpoint at the waterhole we didn't see any game there but uh chatting to
people there said they have seen game there was lions there yesterday morning so we just missed
that what do i like what do i not like honestly mata mata i would love to have spent more time
here and even as for camping it's really nice i mean it's nice and shady the campsites are
lined along the riverbank there behind me and it's it's a very very nice camp the shop is not
very well stocked um there's not that much in the shop and the power goes off at 10 o'clock
just remember that and only comes on again at five in the morning so if you want to charge stuff you
need to do it before that yes a very nice camp i would recommend it and i will definitely be back
