Kruger National Park - Olifants Camp
The Olifants camp, with its magnificent old trees, is one of the finest in the National Park. From the camp itself, situated 100m/330ft above the Olifants River, there are excellent views. If you are lucky enough to get one of the comfortable huts overlooking the river you will be able, with the help of field-glasses, to see game along its banks. The sunrises and sunsets here are spectacular.
