Rooms & Availability
Family River Bungalow
NYATI Family Bungalow
Nestled on the banks of the Olifants River and built gracefully into the natural slope of the terrain, the NYATI Family Bungalow offers an authentic safari experience in harmony with nature. Like all NYATI accommodations, it blends seamlessly with its surroundings while offering exceptional comfort and privacy.
From your private, fully furnished terrace, enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views over the river and the vast African bush. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors bring the outdoors in, allowing you to relax in your hammock with a coffee or sundowner while observing elephants, giraffes, antelope, and other wildlife as they come to the river to drink — this is world-class safari living.
The Family Bungalow is an expanded version of the River Bungalow, featuring two additional bedrooms that share a bathroom, toilet, and terrace. It accommodates up to six guests — two per room. The two smaller bedrooms are connected internally, while access to the spacious master bedroom is via the terrace through a large glass door.
For guests seeking even more space and privacy, the Olifant Villa Suite (200 m²) is available for a daily or weekly supplement. As there is only one Family Bungalow, early booking is highly recommended.
