About Olifants
Olifants Rest Camp perches dramatically on a cliff above the Olifants River, offering arguably the finest panoramic views in Kruger. From their chalet verandas and the famous thatched viewpoint terrace, guests look north across the river valley to spot elephant, hippo, crocodile, and lion below. The transitional ecology between mopane woodland and mixed bushveld produces exceptional diversity.
