Elephant Valley Lodge

The lodge may not be pristine, and it’s around a 30-minute drive to the park and river, but don’t let that put you off — it delivers an exceptional safari experience. Our guide, Brave, was great. His knowledge of the wildlife and genuine enthusiasm were obvious, and he was always looking for ways to enhance our experience. While some other safari vehicles seemed to be in a hurry, Brave took his time, looking for sign and making our experience memorable. His knowledge and approach to guiding made a huge difference. The staff at the lodge were equally impressive — friendly, helpful and welcoming, with great food and excellent service throughout our stay. An added highlight is the lodge’s waterhole. With herds of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, impala, plus the occasional hyenas and warthogs. Being able to dine at next to the water hole and watch a variety of wildlife come was an experience in itself. Highly recommended. bumpy road to the park when the alternative tar seal was only 10 minute longer

“Wonderful experiences”

I had a great time here, the host and staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, we got to see tons of wildlife right outside our window, and the game drives were really informative with knowledgeable drivers. That being said, the road to the lodge was pretty rough, but it was worth it in the end.

“Great lodge, staff are amazing. Waterhole is amazing, we saw loads of animals. Close the vic falls”

Everything about this place was great - the staff, the food, the location, and the waterhole right outside. It was a really fantastic experience with no complaints.

The staff here were really top-notch and the accommodation was great. Yeah, the drive to get here is a bit long, but the view from the lodge makes it all worth it. I guess some might say the view is a bit of a double-edged sword - it's stunning, but also a bit of a letdown that it's not more. polished.

“The Waterhole Made it Worthwhile”

We were really lucky with the wildlife viewing here - one day we saw 14 giraffes and another day 12 elephants interacting with each other. The property itself is peaceful and quiet, and the staff were great. That being said, our tent was a bit worn out and needed some repairs, and the guide assigned to us wasn't the best. Also, Chobe park was a bit of a shock to us after experiencing private concessions - it was crazy busy with tons of vehicles.
