Transfrontier National Park
Northern Cape

Access
Travel on the N7 to Steinkopf and from there to Port Nolloth and Alexander Bay. From Alexander Bay a gravel road goes all along the Orange River to Sendelingsdrift / Reuning (94 km), where the Park Office is. Other access routes: Kuboes, Lekkersing and Eksteenfontein. 4x4 can also take the road from Vioolsdrift to Eksteenfontein and through the Helskloof Reserve.

Driving in the Park
The Richtersveld National Park provides a genuine offroad adventure and can only be travelled by 4x4 with high ground clearance. Particularly difficult are some riverbeds with soft sand and the rocky mountain passes. You should drive in a convoy. Drivers of single vehicles have to check out at the park office when they leave. One must be at the park office before 16:00 to reach the campsites before dark. Night drives are not permitted.

Accommodation and Camping
The park offers nowadays a couple of restcamps with camping facilities and basic self-catering accommodation.

In Sendelingsdrift - on the western border and entrance to the park - a new restcamp was built. At present there is a total of 10 self-catering chalets with 2 to 6 beds, shower, air-conditioning, fridge, stove and a verandah with view of the Orange River. Campground and swimming pool.

The restcamps Tatasberg and Ganakouriep Wilderness Camps also offer - besides camping - chalets for an overnight stay. But they are not air-conditioned and are very basic. They have 2 beds and a shower.

Tatasberg Restcamp

The other restcamps, Potjiespram, De Hoop (beautifully positioned at the Oranje), Richtersberg, Kokerboomkloof, Hiking Trails Base Camp are open for camping only. No caravans are allowed. Do not sleep on the bare ground because there are many scorpions.
