Help! What shall we do on our first whole day in Kruger (apart from driving!)?

Want to do one activity and can't decide whether morning walk, morning cycle or afternoon cycle would be the most rewarding in mid August at Olifants camp? Being incredibly indecisive unusually hence the call for inspiration!

Tried a search, to no avail.
Has anyone done the Olifants mountain bike ride. I am assuming it requires a minimum number of 4-6 people and is guided. Is it a worthwhile change from driving around looking for animals? Is there a required fitness level?
Any advice appreciated.

I found This info re the Mountain Bike Trails.
Hope it helps.

I will get all those links that Ndloti posted merged into one topic. :thumbs_up:

As mentioned previously (probably on this thread), I did the mountain bike activity at Olifants in September 2009, straight after having done the Olifants Backpack Trail.

I would not recommend this activity, I personally don't believe it is safe and I wouldn't do it again.

I'd definitely recommend a morning, river or afternoon walk instead!
