Olifants Camp
If there was a award for best panorama view for camp it would go to Olifants. Situated high up on a ridge that overlooks the mighty Olifants river, the views are endless and carry all the way east towards the confluence of the Letaba and out to Mozambique. From the Camp you can see Elephant and a variety of antelope making their daily commute for water. Hippo, Crocodile and a abundance of water birds line the river banks with large Baobabs dotting the savanna.
The Camp is located in a transition zone known as Olifants rugged veld which very quickly becomes apparent when travelling from the north or south through the area. Its an area the divides the southern thornveld and northern mopane veld but still offers a unique an diverse environment to appreciate.
