The Detail
The Elephant Camp was named after the magnificent herd of elephants that frequently visit the camp, offering guests the incredible opportunity to interact with these gentle giants and learn more about their way of life.
The interior of the camp is a blend of modern and cultural concepts, reminiscent of a bygone era. Elevated off the ground, this intimate camp provides breathtaking views of the African bushveld, stretching toward the yawning Batoka Gorge and the misty spray of the Falls.
The Elephant Main Camp consists of 12 luxury suites, while The Elephant Camp West has only four suites.
The Luxury Tented Suites highlight the spectacular scenery with each glass-fronted suite opening onto a private viewing deck overlooking the African bushveld. Each suite features a bedroom, en-suite bathroom, comfortable lounge area, air conditioning, ceiling fans, minibars, and tea and coffee making facilities. All the suites are gorge-facing, providing magical sunrise and sunset views.
Two of the suites are family tents, which include a sleeper couch to accommodate young children.
The Elephant Camp West consists of only four suites, making it ideal for larger families or small groups seeking an exclusive safari experience. The four luxury tented suites are spacious "marquis-style" tents that feature all the amenities of the tented suites, including their own private deck and plunge pool, overlooking the Mosi Oa Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders").
Activities offered at the camp include a guided tour of Victoria Falls, elephant interaction, lunch at the Lookout Cafe, cocktails and canapés at the Batoka Gorge, a visit to the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, a cultural village tour, birding and nature walks on the concession, mountain bike rides through the Victoria Falls National Park, and the Victoria Falls Canopy Tour.
The lodge offers sumptuous comfort for those seeking close encounters with Africa's wildlife, unique experiences, and relaxation. With a focus on exclusivity and personalized service, The Elephant Camp promises a memorable and luxurious stay.
