Wilderness Trails in the Kruger National Park
The Olifants Wilderness Trail
The trail camp for the Olifants Wilderness
Trail is situated on the southern bank of the Olifants River,
west of the Olifants/Letaba confluence. It offers a magnificent view of a beautiful
stretch of this perennial river which ultimately flows through Mozambique and
into the sea. The landscape varies from riverine bush and gorges to the foothills
of the Lebombos. It supports a variety of wildlife, including large predators,
elephant and buffalo. The Olifants River is home to crocodile, hippo and many
bird species. The call of the African fish eagle is almost synonymous with this
trail and the rare Pels fishing owl can sometimes be seen along the riverine
vegetation.
