Orpen

Orpen is a small camp located just beyond the Orpen Gate on the western border of the park. However the camp does not feel as if it is near the border of the park, but rather in the middle of the wilderness as the park's unfenced border near the camp is surrounded by the private Timbavati Game Reserve. Orpen is one of the more basic rest camps with no restaurant, and not all accommodation options here have electricity, but the game viewing is good and its small size makes for a tranquil spot to spend the night.
