What was behind this, one wonders? Perhaps they realised that in the years to come Bivack would be a shelter not only for a wide variety of animals but humans as well.
The Tuli Elephants in particular often visit Bivack from across the Limpopo River. They come from as far as the Northern Tuli Game Reserve and from Mashatu
These surveyors were also responsible for naming the nearest town (about 40 km away) Alldays, when the locally brewed "moonshine" (locally called mampoer) proved too much for them.

Bivack lies in the Central Limpopo Valley, close to Mapungubwe National Park - today a world heritage site, it is where South Africa's earliest civilization lived and prospered more than a thousand years ago. They left behind a legacy of golden artefacts, pottery and ornaments that tell the story of our area's past. Bivack forms part of the Lost Kingdoms Route.
