Mopane is the last Main Camp to be built in Kruger. It has its own unique stone building-style, with no camping available. The adjacent Pioneer Dam is the main scenic feature and makes for breathtaking views and attracts many animals in the dry months. Game can be sparse away from water sources, but there are many of these in the area, as well as a large road network. Big elephant tuskers and rare antelope such as tsessebe are often seen, along with abundant bird life.

What to look for:

Elephant, tsessebe

Kori bustard

Apple leaf tree.

Do we have to bring a lock with us ? or do we just leave the fridge as is and hope that nobody "steals" our food/drinks when we are out for the day

They don't have latches, if I recall from last October! One can turn the fridges against a wall during the day if there are baboon problems, but rare at Mopani
