Olifants River Lodge
Safari's is geographically situated on the northern shore
of the Olifants River, approximately 17 kilometres south
of the town of Phalaborwa. The river flows from west to
east, through the Kruger National Park into the
neighbouring country Mosambique. The lodging facilities
consist of sleeping accommodation in chalets for 14
persons, communal bathrooms, kitchen, bar, barbecue boma
and swimming pool. One of the largest private game
reserves, namely the Klaserie Game Reserve, borders on
the opposite side of the river, where the following
wildlife are regularly spotted from the lodge: buffalo,
elephant, lion, water buck, kudu, impala. You can listen
to the roar of lions at night. One of the
entrance gates to the Kruger National Park is in
Phalaborwa.

This area is part of the
Lowveld and exceptionally warm, because of the low
altitude above sea level. The weather is warm and dry
with occasional rainfall in summer months from September
to April. Winter months are pleasantly warm, with
coolness in the evenings. The chalets are equipped with
air conditioners. The surroundings are dense with typical
indigenous trees, bush and grass associated with the
African bushveld, where wildlife of all sorts are still
abundant. Hippos, crocodiles and birds can be viewed from
the camp, with occasional elephant visits as well. The
Limpopo Province is a summer rainfall area. Rain is
infrequent and generally in the early morning
Average Temperatures:
Summer: 30 degrees C / 87 degree F
Winter: 23 degrees C / 73 degrees F
Malaria: As
Olifants River Lodge and Safari's is located within the
malaria belt, we recommend that guests discuss
preventative medication and repellants with their family
practitioner / pharmacist, prior to arrival. Mosquito
repellants are available at the lodge.
