Rio Dos Elefantes River Camp
Rio Dos Elefantes River Camp sits on the Olifants River in the Balule Nature Reserve near Hoedspruit, bordering Kruger National Park. Set among large indigenous trees on the riverbank, the camp offers regular sightings of hippo, crocodile, antelope and elephant from the property itself.
This is a self-catering style river camp rather than a formal luxury lodge, with River View rooms and cottages including a honeymoon cottage, all with air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms; many units have kitchenettes. A full English breakfast is served, with an honesty bar and communal kitchen for self-catering, plus a pool, braai lapa on the riverbank and a guest lounge. Walking safaris can be booked at extra cost, and birdlife is described as prolific. The river itself must not be entered because of crocodiles.
