Description
Mopani Camp gets the name from the Mopane Trees which can be found in abundance in the region. The indigenous vegetation has been left untouched, while newly planted trees have been laid out making this camp a bush oasis.
All the buildings are built from natural materials such as rough stone, wood and thatch. This is one of the Kruger Park rest camps where you can see all the different forms of game.
Please Note:
All Emergency Road Services are from Satara. If you must walk around at night please do not do so without a torch.

Location
Olifants Camp is situated on top of a hill, overlooking the life giving waters of the Olifants River in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. You enter Olifants through the Phalaborwa Gate, a 5 hour drive from Johannesburg. By air, you travel with regular domestic flights from Johannesburg to Phalaborwa Kruger Park Gateway Airport.
This area offers a diverse range of vegetation including Apple Leaf, Tamboti, Mopane, Marula and Mixed Acacias. Due to this vast range of flora, much wildlife is known to inhabit this lush area.
Activities
Morning and night drives allow you to see the animals when they are most active. Bush walks are done under the guidance of experienced field guides with rifles. This is the time when you can observe the bush and track Rhino, Elephant and Lion on foot.
Wildlife:
From the vantage point of the ladies bar, guests can watch Hippo, Waterbuck, Impala, Warthog, Elephant, Buffalo and even Lion. On some of the plains you can see Zebra, Buffalo and blue Wildebeest.
Birdlife:
Because the camp looks out over a dam, many water birds can be spotted. Birds such as Storks, Egrets, Kingfishers and African Fish Eagles can always be spotted. When out and about at the Nshawu Pans, you should keep your eye out for Kittlitz’s Plover, Chestnutbacked Finchlark and Redwinged Pratincole.
