Guest reviews for Olifants Restcamp

Olifants Restcamp

"We had a nice time in Kruger. Olifants was a bit disappointing but Satara was wonderful!

Lower Sabie is a beautiful camp but the service at the restaurant area is non-existant!"

Olifants rest camp - unbelievalbe experiance

"It is a lovely camp with stunning views!
We did the sunset - drive and mornings walk. What a lovely experience! We saw so many animals on the sunset drive, and the game-driver gave us so many info and tips on viewing animals. We had a lovely stay; such a romantic setting."

"We had a wonderful time in Kruger park. The bungalow we slept in was clean, but a new air con. with less noise would be fine. We will go for more luxury next time. Hans Lund"

"First of all apologies for the delay in replying.

We all had an amazing holiday. Saw so many animals. Weather perfect! Even the fact that the restaurant was under refurbishment did not spoil our experience in the camp."

Olifants Restcamp

"Lovely camp and great view from our bungalow, pity about the work being carried out there especially as the bungalow next to us was under renovation, but did not affect us too much."

Olifants Restcamp

"We found the rest camp very nice and the bungalow confortable.

It was great to spot the elephants in the river under the full moon shadow and amazing to have breakfast watching the hippos playing in the water!

Experience to repeat!"

"• Dry season, park needs rain.
• Some gravel roads around Olifants in need of maintenance
• Building alterations a bit of an issue, but we are looking forward to another stay when completed"

Renovations

"I stayed at Olifants Camp which since childhood has always been a favourite of mine, and I still really enjoyed being there. The only thing i was disappointed in was that I was never told that the restaurant was being renovated - this was sad as I has planned a birthday dinner for my partner."


- Diane (South Africa) Guest sightings:

Olifants Restcamp

"It was brilliant. Unfortunately I forgot how long it takes to drive to the camps once inside the park. Our first night was spent in Pretoriouskop because we did not have time to reach Olifants before dark. Your staff very kindly found me a hut for our first night.
The only disappointment was that the TV in Olifants was not working so I could not watch the Rugby match between the Boks and the All Blacks."

- Bob Stander (canada) Guest sightings:

great time

"We had a great stay in Olifants. The only thing we did not know was that you had to bring your own cutlery etc... so we had not... luckily we could hire some but it would be good to state at reservation you have to bring or if needed you can hire...."

"Saw loads of animals."

Olifants Restcamp

"While the housekeeping and shop staff are extremely friendly and helpful the same cannot be said for the reception staff. The staff in the reception area are shocking, they remind of the most unabiding, unfriendly, government officials."

"No complaints (pity about building operations)."

Olifant and game drive review

"The camp was nice and in comparison to the Berg-en-dal night drive, this was a totally different experience with 2 very enthusiastic guides (with good senses of humour). We did not see much but we learnt from the little we saw. However, I do not think I will go on another night drive. We see very little and it is uncomfortably cold."


- Irene Balkind (South African) Guest sightings:

World class

"What a fabulous time we had! The bungalows were superb, immaculate condition! The staff were friendly and very helpful, the camp sites were well kept and the plenty animals were plentiful. Overall well enjoyed! Will definitely call again!!!!!!"


- Mickey Hensberg (Gauteng) Guest sightings:

Improvement

"Excellent. We would have liked a double bed though"


- Deshni Naidoo (South Africa) Guest sightings:

Quiet Camp

"So this camp is a little up North but driving from the South in the morning we had seen 4 out of the big 5 by lunch time.
The camp itself is quiet & some may think out the way but I liked it. Only problem was that the bathroom was very smelly & they were fully booked so we couldn't move, but other than that I wouldn't rule it out just because it's at the North of the park. 10 mins out the gate we saw a Lion, Leopard & Rhino's.... cant beat that!"


- Cass Hoglin (UK) Guest sightings:

A few tips

"1) Knowing beforehand the departure time for the night drive. Our night drive was on the same day as our arrival and it was a bit of a rush.

2) It would be nice to have like a radio station where rangers and visitors can inform the people in the park of where animals like the big 5 have been cited so that everybody can improve their chancers of seeing the big 5.

3) It would also be nice to have a built up area around the braais at the various bungalows to accomodate plates and glasses etc and with a light to make braaing more enjoyable at night.

Otherwise a really enjoyable holiday!"

Theuns

"The camp is in a immaculate condition,friendly personnel and clean bungalows. No loud music or other noises except for animal sounds. What a view from the deck!
PS. Used tea cups and empty coldrink tins attracted bees and since I am allergic to bees it dampened my visiting the deck more often"


- Theuns Botha Guest sightings:

Fist visit at Kruger National Park -

"We have enjoyed our stay at Olifants Rest camp a lot. The bungalow was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The view was fabulous - We will definitely visit again. We were also surprised to have seen a python on the road just after Skukuza camp. We came across lions twice. Unfortunately the wild dog, leopard and cheetah have avoided us this time. But that is one of the reasons why we will visit again to also see these animals in the wild."
