Less than 5 minutes from the entrance to the world-famous Kruger Park, you will find Wild Olive: your private safari home on a secure and quiet, green park with communal swimming pool. The safari house is popular for its atmospheric, authentic interior, space, privacy and of course: the location at the entrance to the Kruger Park. It is not for nothing that Wild Olive is rated 9.7 out of 41 reviews on other platforms!
And here's why:
You will stay in our authentic, fully equipped, thatched villa that has been decorated with care. With no less than 140m2, the spacious veranda and the atmospheric ambiance, the safari house is a wonderful home in South Africa. Of course, the safari house is equipped with every convenience; so you won't be short of anything after your long day among the Big Five.
There is enough space for everyone. The house has 2 double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom (incl. bath and walk-in shower), the spacious loft with another 4 beds, an extra bathroom, spacious, cozy living room and semi-open kitchen. Thanks to the generous mosquito nets, firm mattress and air conditioning in every room, you will sleep wonderfully. Our safari house is even praised for the good night's sleep our guests experience here. Are you traveling with the little ones? Then we will be happy to provide you with a baby cot (incl. mosquito net) free of charge.
Are you going on this journey in search of your inner chef? Go ahead! In the semi-open kitchen you will find a brand new (2026) induction hob, extractor hood (2026), oven, toaster, kettle and coffee maker. You can easily do your shopping around the corner at the Spar Kruger or at Checkers (5 min drive) and store it in the double American fridge/freezer. Ideal for when you travel with a family or larger group. Don't feel like cooking? Through the gardens you can walk to the restaurant of Sefapane (2 min walk) or discover the delicious wine-food combinations of Bushveld Terrace within 5 minutes by car.
Being outside is an important part of your trip. At Wild Olive safari house you will find all the peace and space you need to enjoy under the African starry sky. The house has a wonderfully spacious veranda with both a lounge set and as a dining table. And with the brand new braai (no less than 1.5 meters wide) you can easily make it a long, pleasant evening. The garden offers a lot of privacy and views over a beautiful pond. Enjoy with a glass of wine in hand. And is it too hot? Then take a refreshing dip in the communal swimming pool.
