Wild Olive Tree Camp
Wild Olive Tree Camp is a small tented bush camp on the R531 about 1km from Kruger National Park's Orpen Gate, bordering the Manyeleti Game Reserve. It is a budget-to-midrange camp rather than a luxury lodge, roughly 60km from Hoedspruit's Eastgate Airport.
Accommodation is in safari-style tents of about 20 square metres, each with an en-suite bathroom, a furnished patio or wooden deck, mosquito nets and a separate entrance; the exact number of tents is reported differently across sources, so confirm directly. The camp is run off-grid with solar lighting, and some listings note gas-powered showers and no in-tent plug points — confirm charging arrangements before booking guests who rely on devices.
Game viewing is by morning and afternoon open-vehicle drives into the Manyeleti section, typically arranged separately from accommodation. A bush spa by the riverbed offers massages and other treatments, and the camp also lists hiking, cultural tours, a swimming pool and campfire storytelling.
