Orpen

The Orpen entrance gate and filling station used to form part of the camp but was moved about a kilometer away from the camp so as to provide less noise to residents.

There are a number of activities on offer at Orpen rest camp: like guided game drives and guided walks. Please ask at reception when you check in.

The area is good for lion, cheetah, wild dogs, honey badger and leopard as the habitat has wide-open plains covered by sweet grass that attracts many browsers and grazers.

The area also lends itself to good landscape photographic opportunities.
