About Mopani
Mopani (1992) sits on a rocky koppie above Pioneer Dam in the heart of Kruger's mopane-dominated north. Thatched buildings with rock-faced walls blend seamlessly into the bush, and the dam below is a reliable gathering point for elephant, hippo, and buffalo. The Nshawu pans nearby attract open-plains species including wildebeest and tsessebe in the thousands during wet season.
