All the rooms are lovely, but I think the only ones with a clear view are those near the waterhole. Remember though that the real opportunity to see animals are on the game drives in the morning and evening. During the day, especially if it is warm, the animals are quiet. Sleeping. But I did thoroughly enjoy the view of the watering hole.
