ABOUT MAFEFE CAMP

Mafefe Camp is situated in a remote spot in the northern Drakensberg and can only be accessed with a four wheel drive vehicle. Access to the camp takes one along the Olifants River with various scenic views, where a few small villages are passed before the trail takes to the mountains. The scenery is magnificent and only a few local people still reside in this beautiful area, staying in traditional huts blended with the natural surroundings.

As there are so few inhabitants the adventure and scenery are probably the biggest draw card of this camp.

Conditions for hiking in the surrounding mountains are also ideal, and the unbelievable route where Louis Trichardt crossed the Drakensberg with his trek in the 1830’s, is within walking distance to the east of the camp. This area is ideal for quad biking and traverses.

THINGS TO DO

ABOUT THE AFRICAN IVORY ROUTE

The African Ivory Route in the Limpopo Province has its origins in the legendary exploits of early ivory hunters and gold traders. The Route covers vast expanses of natural bush and mountain ranges with breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and cultural richness. It is an ideal destination for the safari, adventure and cultural enthusiast.

The African Ivory Route was established with the adventure traveler in mind. A selection of unique and off the beaten track destinations were therefore a more important consideration than ease of access.
