Comments, Rules and Notes

Comments: It is in the luscious setting of the Olifants River valley that you will discover the beauty & serenity of Olifants River Lodge with its riverside campsite. Situated between Middelburg and Witbank on the banks of the Great Olifants River, one and a half hours' drive from Pretoria & less than 2 hours' drive from Nelspruit and KNP. A stretch of secondary road over a koppie, descending into the valley below, gives you a glimpse of the breathtaking location of the Lodge and campsite. Set in the heart of Mpumalanga - S.A' cultural homeland - the Olifants River Lodge illustrates our rich heritage in terms of our beautiful landscapes!
