The camp is hidden in a land of contrasts, characterised by its elevation over the plains with a view of the smoke of the Falls in the distance and the spectacular gorges. The view and location was only the beginning of our pleasant surprises: we were greeted by a very friendly welcome by Jonathan the Manager, Moses, Hilda, Prosper and... More

I am one of those people for whom complaining comes quite naturally. My wife even bought me a T shirt a few years back that proclaims me to be an Official Member of the Piss and Moan about Absolutely Everything Club. The reason for this background is that, despite my best efforts, I could not fault The Elephant Camp. Jonathan,... More

Elephant Camp has character! No request was unmet. Baboons stole one hiking boot from me and another from my husband while the boots were drying on the patio from the Falls. The staff found them 120 meters into the bush (fully intact)! Dining under the stars with delicious fresh food was amazing. The night escorts to and from the tents... More

that I'll remember for the rest of my life! I'll start by saying we did not stay here overnight. We were here for a day to interact with the elephants & just spend the day. What a day it was! So much more than I could ever dream of! What they have managed to create for humans to experience &... More

We could not have chosen a more perfect location with THE most gracious hosts. What a beautiful camp. The best ever. Whilst ensuring our every need was always promptly attended to, we also never felt watched or hovered over. Perfect balance between privacy and attentiveness is achieved by the whole team.

5 star service, 5 star food, 5 star accommodation!! This is an absolute Gem and well worth the visit. All the staff are friendly and very helpful. Johnathan sure knows how to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The activities in and around the Falls are outstanding. The elephant encounter and Cheetah walk is a must and the sunset cruise...

A brilliant place to unwind after a long flight & relax before heading off for more activity-based locations-or, conversely to do so after a hectic schedue & early mornings! Jonathan, in particular, made me feel special, and organised everything professionally & superbly. Nothing was too much trouble. Won't hesitate to return if/when next heading to S.Africa. Many thanks to all... More
