The Toro Yaka Bush spa is situated in the Balule Nature Reserve which is adjacent to the Kruger National Park. The Olifants River flows through the middle of the reserve and many animals rely on it for water. The river has an abundant Hippo and Crocodile population so you are sure to spot them on game drives.
