I stayed in the NG2V. The view at 87 is slightly better than 86 (but nothing wrong with 86)
Here is a picture of the view (there are elephants there)


The BD2V do have a better view.
The fridges in the NG2V are outside the bungelow. Be careful of the vervet monkeys- they nearly stole our lunch while we were eating

Hello, my husband and I have a reservation for two nights at Olifants at the end of August in a BD2U unit which looks like it is one of #19-24. Can anyone recommend which of these might have the best view? DH is very keen to photograph the sunsets -- and would like to know which have views that are not obstructed. Thanks in advance.

Hi Lisa,

We had # 19 when we stayed there last year.
In my opinion it had nice views of the bush and reasonable ones of the river.

I had wanted the best view ones but they were unavailable for the full 4 nights we wanted.

If you have a look Here there are some pics I took of the view from the bungalow.
You will have to scroll down a bit to get there.

We stayed in No14 in March.
Was brilliant. Had a great view of the river. A nice sitting area etc.

It is one of the family (4 bed) units though.

I stayed @ Bungalow nr. 108 ( perimeter ), the sunset wasn't bad from there hey.

Att... TINY!!

Some shots of the Bungalow and it's awesome view...

Hi,
as DuQues said, it's one of the best places in Olifants. No;14 has a little better view but it's really wunderfull.
Kitchen (ofcourse) outside and the rest inside. We've been there a few times and it's always good to come back in no.18 sit on the couch and enjoy the wunderfull view.
Good Choice!

Hi everyone,

I've come across some old(ish) photos of the Park in April 1989.

I was curious as to where in Olifants these two huts are. Does anyone recognise them? The road/hill in the background should provide a bit of a clue.



Any ideas?

Jeff

HI Jeff,

This is unit number 32 and 33, the unit codes are BG3. This are the units opposite the river view units and kitchen # 2.

Hi All, does one call reception at camp and request a specific bungalow or do they just allocate one anyway - Do I call them or just reservations to find out where I'm booked into?

We usually phone the camp about 3 weeks before
arrival to request a specific unit.
But remember it is only a request...

If you have booked a BD2V unit # 3 is
awesome

We had # 19, 2 years ago and was quite happy with it as it gave one a view into the bush and yet still some river view.

Hi forumites

We've been to Olifants in October 2010 and were very happy to see (for the first time in 3 years) that they are finished building. IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!!


Still looks the same

We plan to visit Olifants in August this year and booked number 18. After searching for hours I could not find photos from forumites of unit 18. So if anyone has photos of this particular bungalow or view from the bungalow, please share with us. I would apreciate it. (I started a topic "accommodation photo's" HERE so feel free to post pictures there)

Found it!

Here is real relaxing at #18:
