Olifants Restcamp
"I wish that we could hear what the 5 o'clock truck driver said on the sunrise trip. I wish that more interest would be shown on bird life (as your list reflects as well).
Otherwise the personnel was efficient and friendly. The bungalows were enjoyable."

Wonderful Experiance
"The booking, rondaval cleanliness and Park Officials made the stay wonderful. will do it again anytime.
It would be nice to see a more down to earth meals at the camps, Tshokwane was really super and rustic.
Thank you for keeping the Kruger Park wonderful."

"I came back to see the animals - and we saw them.
However, nothing much seems to have changed with regard to the camps since I last visited six years ago.
(1) You now need definitely to provide full and preferably free internet wifi services throughout your camps - and the cost of providing this needs to be built into your overnight accommodation charges.
(2) The food and service at the three camps which we stayed in was quite acceptable, but not great. I think it would be so much better if the food and other outlets could be privatized, so that there is some competition to be the best.
(3) The electricity plugs in your units generally only suit South African connections. You should have at least one international plug so that cameras etc can be plugged in.
At present we can only do this using the shaver connections."

Olifants Restcamp
"We had a lovely time in the Park. We were so lucky to see the big 5 in ONE day. The first day we have seen 4 of the big 5. We found lions 4 times the second day on separate occasions - counted about 20 all together. Apart from them we also experienced a lot of of spring for other animals as well. The cherry on top - they were all close by.
It really was worth while - every minute. Thanks for making it possible for us as our stay was a present for my husband's birthday. He loved it."

Played a round golf, thanks to staff at golf course had an enjoyable round. Thanks to all involved in making the vacation a memorable one."

My stay at Olifants Rest Camp
"I've been to Kruger for several times but didn't see a lion, this time around I saw about 4, in different locations. Thanks to Olifants Rest Camp, if I didn't book there, I wouldn't have been able to see the lions! Nice Bungalows, professional service... will come back again next year February."

"Accommodation too small and uncomfortable. Way overpriced compared to accommodation outside the Park Gate."

Olifant's camp visit
"The camp accommodation was ok but the restaurant was bad. The food is basic and totally overpriced. There is no effort in making the food look or taste to value for money. The restaurant survive was also not up to standard. I feel a shame that any international/local visitor receive such service. The shops are however very nice and caters for everyone's needs."

Great trip
"Stayed at Olifants, very impressed with how clean everything was and how friendly staff were. Think it's a bit expensive though for what you get - maybe there should be discounts for South Africans..."

Perfect!
"We loved our stay at Olifants Rest Camp. Everything we needed was avaialbe in the Bungalow (except utensils - but I had my own)and in the shop. It was so relaxing to sit outside on the stoep and see the Olifants river and hear the hippos. I will definately stay there again."

"Like always a visit to KNP is great. The service in the restaurants was traditionally not a great experience but lately it has improved dramatically, but the service and food in Satara is exceptionally bad.
Just sitting in the restaurant all you hear is visitor after visitor complaining. The service at the gates is of high standard.
Regards"

Olifants accomodation
"Bungalows are of poor standard especially when considering overseas visitors. They really need urgent and comprehensive upgrading for the price payable."

Happy & Will Be Back!
"Many Thanks for the opportunity of telling you of our recent visit to the Kruger Park. The booking was efficiently done from your side. We stayed at Olifants Camp - haven't been there for years - and found it to be extremely clean and the staff very friendly. The shop had everything one could wish for and was well stocked. On our arrival, we were given chalet No. 62, which, when we arrived there, saw that people had already used the chalet for the day - so not at all happy - as there were cigarette butts in the ashtrays and the bed had been used!!! Before we had time to get back to the office, an official came to us and gave us another chalet - which had a better view of the river - so needless to say, we were much happier with our change. We stayed there for 3 nights - and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The vervet monkeys visited one morning - and as usual, totally destroyed the contents of our neighbours fridge - this should definitely be looked into - even though there is a notice on the front door - these little buggers are so quick. This should be looked into as they are a real nuisance!!
We hope to be back soon."
