Yup, the drive up towards Letaba is usually very quiet

Hey , camp dwellers !

Which of the BD2V Bungalows has the best view & is furthest from noise making infrastructure ?

Think 8 or 9. Both are good as far as I can remember, think 9 is on point.

lovely views $\O$ , but I prefer being down on the plains where you hear more at night whilst braaing

The noise generated by the aircoditioners & people over easter will drown out most natural sounds ... ?

ou are right GG , having hardly stayed in a concrete walled camp for 20 years or so , it dawned on me when I arrived there that huts 92 -+ onwards till about 99 actually offer a better view and a chance of night sounds .

BC , I agree , # 9 is probably the better of all those special huts in the series 1 - 22 (?) ...

# 8 was a disappointment with hanging kitchen cupboard doors , sagging shelf under the sink , forgotten paving bricks left under a tree - it looked a bit shabby in general . Certainly not worth the extra expense .

Does anyone know where the BD3ZU bungalows are in Olifants? I can only see BG3 and BD2U units.
