Description

The Orpen Rest Camp in the world-renowned Kruger National Park is centrally situated on the western border of the Park, about 500 km from Gauteng. Orpen can be accessed via a few different routes namely Orpen and Phalaborwa Gates. The accessed roads are all in good conditions with the main roads all being National roads. The nearest gate is Orpen Gate, which is 500 m from the main camp.

Orpen is a small and beautiful camp that derived its name from the surname of the donor of the land, Eileen Orpen. The scattered trees and wide-open plains covered by sweet grass attract many browsers. This in turn, attracts the eye-catching cheetah, lion and leopard. Well known for its diversity of habitat and wildlife, Orpen offers visitors an excellent opportunity to experience close encounters with elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard in a natural environment. Wild dog, cheetah, zebra and giraffe are also indigenous to this area, a paradise for the wildlife enthusiast.

The Orpen Rest Camp offers a shop, a communal laundromat, filling station, communal kitchens and ablutions, braai facilities, a swimming pool for overnight residents, and a day visitor picnic area.

Activities at Orpen Rest Camp include guided bush walks, and morning, night and day game drives in the company of trained field guides, Timbavati Picnic Site located about 55 km outside the camp, and Ratel Pan Bird Hide located about 58 km outside the camp.
