Olifants Rest Camp
The Kruger National Park is one of the most iconic wildlife destinations in the world, and the Olifants Rest camp is the perfect base from which to explore it. As an expert on the park, I can attest to the fact that this area is a nature lover's paradise, offering visitors the chance to see a wide variety of animals, as well as breathtaking landscapes and beautiful vegetation.
The Olifants Rest camp is situated in the central part of the Kruger National Park. The camp is situated atop a hill which towers several hundred feet over the Olifants river. Views from the lookout platforms allow one to see the river below, just as a soaring eagle would survey it, as it hunts from the skies. Visitors can also expect to see other animals such as giraffes, zebras, hippos, and crocodiles, as well as a wide variety of bird species. The area is also known for its beautiful landscapes, including the Olifants River and the nearby Timbavati Nature Reserve.
The vegetation in the area is also incredibly diverse, with everything from thick bushveld to open savannah. The Olifants River is a particularly important area for vegetation, as it provides a source of water for the animals in the area. The river is lined with tall trees, for example, sycamore figs and leadwood trees, which provide shade and shelter for the animals.
The Olifants Rest camp is well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, including electricity, hot water, and flush toilets. There are also a variety of accommodation options available, from traditional camping sites to chalets and bungalows. Each accommodation has a unique feature that makes it stand out from the rest, for example, the bungalows have air-conditioning, and the chalets have a kitchenette. The charming, thatched bungalows and guest houses offer comfortable and convenient accommodation. There are guest houses for those guests travelling in larger groups. With 107 bungalows and two guest rooms, Olifants Rest Camp caters to the various requirements of couples, families and small groups of friends. Communal kitchens are available for self-catering guests as well as braais.
The camp itself is also home to a restaurant and bar, as well as a swimming pool and a variety of recreational activities such as bird watching and guided walks. The camp is designed to offer visitors a comfortable and authentic safari experience, with accommodation options that are structured to take full advantage of the beautiful views and be in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Truly an excellent destination for those looking to experience the beauty and diversity of South Africa's wildlife. With comfortable accommodations, a wide variety of recreational activities, and a rich variety of animals and landscapes, the camp is sure to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience.
Letaba Rest Camp
In addition to the Olifants Rest camp, another must-see destination in the park is the Letaba Rest Camp. This camp is in the Letaba River Valley, which is known for its lush vegetation and diverse wildlife. The Letaba River is a particularly important area for wildlife, as it provides a source of water for the animals in the area. The name means “river of sand”, and the sandy riverbed is an excellent location for game viewing, particularly elephant, which thrive in the area. Letaba is a green oasis in the surrounding mopane veld and remains a firm favorite with visitors. At night the stars overlook a symphony of sounds. Owls, nightjars, frogs, fruit bats, crickets and cicadas all vie to be heard, until the lion roars, then all are silent.
The Letaba Rest Camp offers visitors a wide range of accommodation options, from a guest house, cottage, bungalow, hut or a furnished safari tent, to a camping and caravan site. The character of Letaba Camp depends heavily on the tall shady trees, expansive lawns and indigenous gardens where tame Bushbuck wander, you may have these amazing visitors wondering outside your door!
Visit in winter and you will find the gardens a riot of colour, with several species of Aloe and the Impala lily in full bloom at your accommodation in Kruger Park. The Aloes attract a variety of birds, including the White Bellied and Marico Sunbird, Crested Barbet, Black headed Oriole and Black Eyed Bulbul.
Activities at Letaba Rest Camp include guided bush walks and night/ sundowner drives, adventure trails, bush breakfast and bush braais, and wildlife film screenings.
Letaba Rest Camp offers a cafeteria and a shop, a restaurant, a communal laundromat, filling station, communal kitchens and ablutions, braai facilities, conference facilities, a basic day visitor picnic area in the camp, a swimming pool for overnight residents, a TV lounge, the fascinating Letaba Elephant Hall museum, and seasonal kids’ education programmes.
Unique to Letaba amongst camps in Kruger is the Elephant Hall, a small museum dedicated to elephants.[13] It includes sections about elephant biology, behaviour, ecology and evolution. The primary exhibit is the display of the tusks and skulls of the Magnificent Seven, a set of enormous tuskers (elephant bulls with very large tusks). The hall was renovated in 2017 with financial assistance from donors worldwide and design assistance from professor Kevin Todd and his students at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland
Certainly a great spot to consider pulling up for the night, especially to see the Elephant Hall Museum!
Spots to Visit while out on Drive
In addition to the natural beauty of the Olifants Rest camp and the surrounding area, the Kruger National Park is also home to several historical sites. The park has a rich cultural history, with many sites that offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who have called this area home over the centuries. Some of the notable historical sites in the central area of the park include the Thulamela archaeological site, which dates back to the 14th century and is home to the ruins of a royal city, as well as the Masorini archaeological site, which is home to the ruins of an Iron Age settlement.
Another area of the Kruger National Park that is worth visiting is the Giriyondo Border Post, which is located on the border between South Africa and Mozambique. This border post is the gateway to the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique, which is part of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a conservation area that spans across three countries, South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The Limpopo National Park is home to a wide variety of animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, and wild dogs, as well as a wide variety of bird species.
The Giriyondo Border Post is an excellent destination for those who are interested in exploring the natural beauty of the Limpopo National Park and the surrounding area.

The Giriyondo Border Post is also a great place to learn about the history and culture of the area, with many historical sites and cultural landmarks to explore.
