What do you get when you send a bunch of women on a mission to find a Pel’s Fishing owl, armed with CyberTracker equipment and a mandate to raise funds for SANParks? You get Angels on an Avian Mission of course, the name given to a fund and awareness raising expedition made up of six SANParks staff and forum members who recently returned from Kruger National Park after successfully finding the Pel’s Fishing Owl (of course), as well as achieving a number of other serious and not so serious objectives.

The Olifants Backpacking Wilderness Trail is aimed at the hiking market and differs from the traditional wilderness trail in that there is no single fixed base camp. The group overnights at different spots as they walk from close to where the Olifants River enters the park south of Phalaborwa, to the end a few kilometers upstream of where the Olifants runs next to the main tourist road between Olifants and Letaba camps.
