I am almost sure that you will be lucky Keep on looking at availability, daily, and from February onwards, as many times a day as you can - good luck

If not, nr 15 is really OK.

Hi stevengzn

You can also have a look at the accommodation photo thread. Here is the direct link to number 15

Gavin, there seems to have been a lot of rain, so everything should be very green and lush.

I love November, mainly beacuse of all the babies. I love to keep my eyes peeled for the impie nurseries. Of course so does every lion, wilddog, cheetah and leopard.

It is the month where I have had record leopard sightings. Most of my leopard sightings have been in that area.

The Lower Sabie main road (known as Eloff street) should not be too busy, as it is not school holidays.

My favourite roads are the S28, great for Cheetah and the Salitjie road, the S30.

I do hope that you have a stunning stay.

Thanks MM

Hey all

Does anyone maybe know what exactly are in the kitchenettes of the Lower Sabie BD2U huts ( bungalows at the perimeter along the riverbank).
Are there plates? Pots and a pan? Glasses?

Would help greatly if anybody maybe knows the exact content of these kitchenettes.

Wikus

Hi Wikus, and a warm welcome to the forum!
Yes, there are pots/pans, plates, glasses, mugs, cutlery, other utensils for cooking, kettle, (there was a toaster as well when we were last there.)
So basically pretty much all you need for self catering/braaing.
One tip is to take along some proper steak knives as they generally only have ordinary table ones which are often not very sharp!

Enjoy!

Hi Forumites
Does anyone know if the safari tents at Lower Sabie, that were damaged in the floods earlier this year, have been repaired?
Many thanks, Kite

Hi Kite

I am not 100% sure, but I think they must have been repaired by now

You can phone the camp itself and confirm - but other 'Mites may help you out on this one too.

Has anyone staid in safari tent no. 26 and has pics of the view / "balcony" ?

Apparently I have been allocated this unit. I requested about 10 other units which they could not help with so this must be one of the "least desirable ones", a bit disappointing but suppose they can't please everyone

I believe this is the tent that burnt down a while ago.

Thanks for some feedback.

There could be advice & pictures here ?

Not al all, 26 and 27 have lovely views!

Super views, I agree, Storma



Not number 26, but 27 can be viewed here and here.

Hi there

We have booked the last hutted accommodation available over December....EH5.
It seems that these are at the ends of the EH3's, so four of them to choose from: 49, 54, 55 & 60.
Which one should we request/is the best out of the lot? (I realise that we should not expect much here, but would like to make it as good as possible!)
Do we go with the one furthest away from the road? Anything else we need to know? (like: are the EH3's usually booked by tour operators?).

Thanks
Rooikat

Hi Rooikat

Most of the EH5's are the same and are very nice, my advise is to avoid number 55. It has very and I mean very big steps, its closest to the road to the staff village and pool, and due to the setup of the huts you dont really have a nice area to sit at a table outside your hut.

I have never seen tour operators book the EH3 huts.

Thanks spargish.

Another possibility: Accommodation in a FU4V has come up, but this is the cottage that states "building taking place near unit". I remember seeing this comment on the website a few months ago.

Can anyone please tell me:

1) If they are even still building next to this unit? (seems these are number 92 etc...?).

2) Does it impact on your privacy? Or anything else I need to know to consider this option.

Thanks
Rooikat
