Are you wondering whether you should stay in Olifants rest camp in the Kruger National Park? In this video I share my thoughts not only on this popular and tranquil camp, but also on its smaller sister camp, Balule, just down the road...
I have very fond childhood memories of Olifants rest camp, having come here regularly as a small boy. Since it's perched high up on a ridge, overlooking the Olifants River, it's got the best view of any camp on the Kruger National Park by far... It has also got a very relaxing atmosphere and the birdlife in camp is phenomenal. It doesn't, however, have a campsite.
If you stay in a tent or caravan, you'll have to book one of the handful of stands in Balule Satellite camp just upstream from Olifants. There are also six basic bungalows here. And remember - Balule has no power! There are, however, communal kitchens with gas fridges and freezers, as well as lanterns every night to provide light.

I’m really enjoying your Kruger videos. We are planning a trip there soon (once Storm Eloise has passed through) 🤣 So your rest camp videos are coming in very handy in our planning. Good stuff, keep the videos coming 👍

Simply wonderful. I have been to Skukuza which like you say is on the hectic side. Olifants it is! Have you done a video on Lower Sabie?
