South African National Parks (SANParks) announced that the Sendelingsdrift border post and pontoon at |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park between South Africa and Namibia will officially reopen today (September 1).

The |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park Manager, Priscilla Magerman, said: “We are overjoyed with the reopening of the border post and pontoon as this will expand the accessibility of |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park and inspire movement into our park. The opening of this border post will increase traffic to the park and assist with making it more accessible to the public.”
