Mooiplaas Picnic Site

Mooiplaas is one of the most underrated picnic sites in the north of the Kruger. Many people simply drive past without stopping, probably due to the fact that it is only approx 5km's drive south of Mopani.

Mooiplaas is right on the bank of the small Tsendze River and has a commanding view from the platform overlooking the river.

A thatch lapa provides shade and somewhere under which one can also prepare something to eat. The whole picnic site is shady and has been sensibly laid out.

Besides the usual gas pans and bottles that you can rent, there is also a braai area where you can make a fire and cook your own meat.

Mooiplaas also has ablution facilities.
