The Rooiputs private concession area is located within the captivating Kgalagadi
Transfrontier Park on the Botswana
side, 25 kilometres north of Two Rivers. Situated off the predator-rich Nossob
valley, the lodge is perched along a mature red sand dune, overlooking a busy
water
hole.
All chalets are privately set on raised wooden decks with a perfect view
of the waterhole. Chalets have a main sleeping area, small sitting area, en-suite
bathroom with his and hers wash basin, toilet,
outside showers and a large veranda.
The sleeping area has double or twin beds, high quality mattresses and linen ensuring a relaxed night’s sleep.
The main open fronted lodge is set under thatch on an elevated expansive wooden deck and constructed out of a clever combination of canvas and wood and decorated with furniture which reflects the rich textures of Southern Africa and the desert.
The dry riverbeds show predators and antelopes off at a premium and provide excellent photographic opportunities. Sixty species of mammals have been recorded in the park including the majestic gemsbok, blue wildebeest, springbok, red hartebeest, eland (the world’s largest antelope) and steenbok. Predators are the area’s big attraction and include the black maned Kalahari lion, leopard, brown and spotted hyena, jackal and wildcat. The area is one of Africa’s best parks for the cheetah, which thrive by hunting in its fossil river valleys and the surrounding Kgalagadi dunes.
Game drives: morning, afternoon/ sunset game drives exploring the Nossob River Valley or full day game drive exploring the Auob or Nossob River Valleys, includes picnic lunch and drinks (minimum 4 pax, subject to availability).
The lodge is powered by a solar panel system with generators as a back-up. Limited charging of batteries is available.
Rooiputs is serviced by two boreholes which provide water to the lodge. As most water in the Kgalagadi, the borehole water is slightly salty and a water purification system is used to remove the salt and provide potable water for drinking and cooking. Untreated water is used for showering and the plunge pool. However, the water is a scarce resource in the desert and guests are asked to use it considerately and there are policies in place on the use of cleaning of guest towels and bed linen.
The park entry fee and the Botswana tourism levy per person per night are included in the fully inclusive rates but are subject to change. Currently the entry fee is BWP 20 per night per foreign visitors and P 4 per night per vehicle. The tourism levy is BWP 10 per person per night.
Self-drive guests and safari operators are welcome. 4 x 4 vehicles essential.
Game drives in our game viewers can be arranged subject to availability and
at an additional cost.
