Best Units in Kgalagadi Camps

Post by Mel »

I would like to establish a thread where we can give advice about what unit in a specific camp is the
best from your point of view and why.

I'll use this post to link to your post, so it would be good if every one just covers one camp per post.

For the main camps we might need to look at the different type of units as well.
And maybe there's advice on which are the best camping spots in Nossob, Twee Rivieren and Mata-Mata,
and maybe even Polentswa and Rooiputs.

We got the following camps in the Kgalagadi:

Mata-Mata
Kalahari Tented Camp 1
Kalahari Tented Camp 2
Urikaruus
Kieliekrankie
Twee Rivieren
Nossob
Gharagab
Bitterpan
Polentswa
Rooiputs

Urikaruus

Best unit (s):

No. 1

Because you can see the waterhole from the bed closest to the window.
Great when the leopards come to drink in the middle of the night and the jackals tell you about it.
Also, if you like to have some privacy as unit 1 only got one neighbour.

No. 2

If you don't mind two neighbours. It has the best view on the waterhole. But only from the deck.
You'll have to get up at night when the jackals are howling and the leopard is rattling.

No. 4

Is great because you stay next to the cape fox den. BUT - and that's a big but: There is no shade
whatsoever in the biggest heat of the day - so from about midday till almost the sun goes down.

No. 3

Has never had any specific appeal to me as it has two neighbours and the same amount of sun
as no. 4

Kalahari Tented Camp

No. 1
the best... honey moon, much bigger terrace and bedroom and with a fan, no neighbour to the left side... only place for Lions, Cheetahs, Hyenas and what else ;-)

the attendant says to me No. 5 has the best view on the waterhole

We just stayed in number 5 nan - not the best view. I think 6 and 7 are better.

5,6 and 7 are for two people.

nan, 5 is close to the waterhole and would be great but there is a big tree that limits your view.

It seems we cannot avoid staying at Twee Rivieren on both our next trips.

Any advice for the FA2/4 chalets?
