On a positive note

Answering your topic question, I would say Mopanie is an under-rated camp with a beautiful setting, with stunning bungalows.

Not situated in the Big5 hunters region, but IMHO if you have bungalows 49 or 51 then it's save to say you have one of the most beautiful spots in Kruger, to watch the sunset as the sun loses it's daily battle...

It's a purists place, and definately worth a visit. As to the restaurants: IT IS KRUGER, IT IS LOWVELD so expect slow service, unavailible products from time to time etc... It's not the Sandton area, where we can EXPECT better service

Just my 2 cents

Here is an bit from my trip report, Mopani details starts half way down P12.
We were there for 2 nights in October

Here

We will definitely be back.

Which units should you book if you want to have a good view?

Thanks.

Hut 10 without a doubt!

On the web page which explains the various accommodations there is a listing for a FF6V which has 3 bedrooms and a VIEW. It seems to be the only one that (for certain) has a view. I can not find any FF6Vs on the map. Does anyone know where this is?????
Thanks

I think the map has just not been updated of late which seems to be the norm for many of the maps.
I am sure that #'s 9 through to 12 plus 43 and 45 will all have good views.

We stayed in a BD4 twice before, first # 51 which was great and then this year # 49 which is awesome.
We are going back next Feb and this time will be in a FF6V and will be requesting one of the front ones for sure.

Steve I got bitten by a Green Spotted Bush Snake at the Braai Unit of Hut 51 (could have happened anywhere so wear closed shoes at night)

Otherwise down the road from camp the August light is superb with the setting sun behind you gives lovely shots like this with beautiful autum colours of the Mopani trees..a unique feature of this hot game viewing area..taken in August

Hi - 1wnature, I recently contacted Mopani Camp to request a bungalow with a view of the dam. I contacted Solly Shakwane (Duty Manager) at SollyS@sanparks.org who was most helpful in allocating us the bungalow of our choice.

Also - details of camp contacts can be fond at http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/camps/camp-tel.php or by visiting the home page of sanparks website, clicking on contact us, then click on camps

Hope this helps

I will be staying at the Xanatseni Guest House later in the year and have heard only good things about it. Is there anyone who could pass some comment on the accomodation? I also heard that it has its own private boma ; Fancy! Where can i find some pics too....?? Thanks

Some pics from the site Here
Looks very nice.

At Mopani over the Easter Weekend as well.

Saw 2 x cheetahs at the T-Junction on you way to the camp, in
the middle of the road
Also on your way to Shingwedzi we saw Lions with 2 x cubs playing just
of the road.
Many Hyena's as well.
There is a small hide near Mopani ( think it is Shipandane?? help me if I am wrong)
We sat there for 30 min and saw Hippos ( 15 m away)
2 x Bushbucks
Crocodiles
Elephants
+ some nice bird life there

Mopani is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome

At Mopani definately Shipandani hide and the resty of the S142. The S106 up to Nshawu nr 5 also a good idea.

Then you must not forget the photo possibilities while doing the trail in the camp.
