Olifantsrus has established a fantastic watering hole, offering the added excitement of night-time game viewing. With its wooden walkways and decks, visitors can enjoy a heightened perspective of the watering hole's activity. We strongly recommend extending your visit beyond a day trip and opting to stay overnight at Olifantsrus to fully immerse yourself in the experience.

"Staanrib braai" at Okaukuejo Camp, Etosha National Park for dinner, how lucky! 🥩🔥🇳🇦

"Staanrib" is the indirect way of cooking a whole mutton rib on a closed hinged grid next to a fire, leaning against a grid stand. This cooking method ensures a smokey result, with very crispy fatty edges (because the fat renders and rolls down as the meat is turned often. 🔥🥩

"Braai" - to grill or roast (meat) over open coals/fire (BBQ/barbecue)

Do note: Mabaruli African Safaris caters for all dietary requirements on all our tours - meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians ect - Our Guides & Camp Assistants will go out of their way, to cook you something special & unforgettable.

Thanks to Guide Anjo & Michael for this special Staanrib Braai!

Was so "lekker" to see Boesman on tv!!

What a great episode! As well as interesting information about the small town (actually farm) Solitaire!

Oh, how we wish Tourism can be what it used to be! We are missing taking travellers around our beautifull Namibia and show them all these wonderfull places & for them to meet these great Namibian Personalities with so much information to share!!

🐘🌅🚐🍺🇳

Erns verken die minder bekende dele van Sossusvlei saam met Boesman wat kaalvoet volspoed passie kan hou.

It's World Elephant Day today! - 12 August 2021

Mabaruli African Safaris is named after a remarkable elephant bull from the past, a great tusker that once roamed the Kruger National Park in South Africa - Mabarule. 🐘

Mabarule was rightly recognised as the gloriously tusked bull in northern Kruger’s Mooiplaas area.

His left tusk swooped right down, almost sweeping the ground, while his right one curved up, giving this bull an ironically unmistakable look - This can be seen in our LOGO as well!

Mabarule died in 2004, when he was found, tragic facts were revealed about the state of his health. Arthritis calcification in his vertebrae showed that he was undoubtedly in terrible pain towards the end of his life; however, his gentle, unruffled nature shone through until the end.

We dedicade today on World Elephant Day, to all elephant's like Mabarule, that roamed on earth and take a moment to appreciated these wonderfull animals still roaming this earth!!
