Just returned from a month in Europe, so not sure what's news on the forum or not, but this might not be common knowlegde yet?

ON October 12, the Mata Mata Tourist Access Facility between South Africa and Namibia will officially be opened.


This will allow tourists to travel between South Africa, Botswana and Namibia via shorter routes through the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The park incorporates the Gemsbok National Park in Botswana and the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa.

The Sendelingsdrift Tourist Access Facility within the Ais/Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park will be opened on October 16. Once the border is opened, tourists will use a pontoon (a type of ferry) to cross the Orange River between South Africa and Namibia.

According to the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, opening the two entry points is important for desert tourism.
