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.

5 guests' feedbackReally enjoyed our one night stay!
Very nice stay. Everything was clean and tidy.
We had a lovely time on the lovely, large veranda of our unit.
Orpen's staff are very professional and helpful.
It's the first time we've spent the night there, will definitely stay there again on our next visit to the wildlife park. A quiet camp where you can watch from your porch for the animals that come to drink water at the water hole.
