The Olifants River is one of South Africa's most storied waterways, flowing through dramatically varied landscapes from its headwaters in Mpumalanga through Limpopo and into the Kruger National Park before continuing toward Mozambique. The river passes through bushveld, rocky gorges, and open savanna, offering anglers a genuinely wild fishing experience in one of Africa's most iconic settings. The lower reaches, particularly within and around the Kruger National Park, are renowned for large-scale yellowfish and provide a fly fishing experience unlike anywhere else on the continent. The Western Cape's Olifants River, a separate system entirely, flows westward to meet the South Atlantic, historically offering rich estuary fishing for a variety of species.
