Lock in a great price for Elephant Plains Game Lodge – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The property is ok. Make sure you request a renovated room. The rooms have decks overlooking a dry riverbed and a watering hole both of which attract a lot of animals.

Deborah, United States of America

Everything about the lodge exceeded our expectoration! The view from our deck was breathtaking, the bed was big and very comfortable, we had an indoor and outdoor shower, and the staff came twice a day to clean and freshen up the room. The staff was very friendly and made sure we were always happy. Our ranger went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the Big 5 and did an incredible job at explaining how the animals live and communicate with each other

Candice, United States of America

I don’t even know where to begin! It was everything I dreamed my South African trip would be and more. The game drives were out of this world with excellent guides and trackers that get you very close to the animals. The food was delicious, they should sell a recipe book. The chefs they have know how to pair ingredients to provide excellent food. The room was beautiful and offered nice views with animals sometimes. The pools are an excellent way to relax and cool off, you can even see elephants by the water hole. The staff were friendly and helpful, they wanted you to have a good time and be safe at the same time. At night, there is even a friendly guy that walks you back to the room and wakes you up in the mornings. Thanks for a beautiful and relaxing stay.

Jennifer, United States of America

Everything . The game rides were amazing . We saw all of the big 5 all up close. Amazing safari . The best value for your money

Bozhidar, United States of America

Staff was increbily friendly and helpful, helping us with transfer arragements from airport to the logde. In addition, they surprised us with updgrades and gufts to celebrate our honeymoon. Games were aldo incredible with lots of different animals and a very knowlegable ranger.

Guilherme, Brazil

We spent two nights at this place and got to see the big 5. The staff and guides are great and take very good care of the guests. Food was great and the view from the balcony is amazing !

Liron, Israel

I loved the safaris and the bushwalk. The rooms were comfortable and beautiful. Due to our tight schedule we were able to attend only 2 game drives and one bush walk but were able to 4/5 of the big 5, up close and personal.

Tanisha, United States of America

It was excellent. Everything was beyond expectations. The location is beautiful with a good view of the plains and the animals on it. The room was spacious and luxurious and was cleaned twice per day. The staff really went the extra mile to provide the best possible service. The rangers were very enthusiastic about their work and did a great job finding the animals on the generous three-hour game drives twice daily and another one-hour bush walk. Our ranger often took us off-road into the forest to see the animals up close. The food was great. We will definitely come back one day.

Bram, Netherlands

Great food, staff and room and grounds. Gert and Life found us the best animals even those elusive cheetahs and pangolins

Baby, United States of America

Elephant Plains was fantastic! Staff couldn’t do enough for you; food was more than enough and was very tasty; drinks were really reasonably priced; location was superb; Gert and Life may be the best guide and tracker ever (we saw all of the Big Five and more in just three drives!); and you shouldn’t think twice about booking—this place is an absolute must!
