The Elephant Camp has been rated one of the best luxury lodges in Zimbabwe, and is within close proximity to the Victoria Falls and the bustling tourist town. Set within the Victoria Falls National Park, The Elephant Camp overlooks the Zambezi Gorges with a magnificent view of the Victoria Falls spray.
The all-inclusive rate covers a wide range of activities, all meals and drinks, WiFi and transfers.
The Elephant Camp Main and Elephant Camp West are nestled on a ridge between the Masuwe River and the Zambezi gorges, giving guests an uninterrupted view of the breath-taking spray that swells above the Victoria Falls rainforest. Set against a backdrop of indigenous teak woodland, the imaginative use of eco-friendly canvas tents allows this unique camp to live in harmony with the surrounding environment.
The Elephant Camp Main consists of 12 luxury suites and is situated twenty minutes out of Victoria Falls so that guests can appreciate the serenity and tranquility of the African bush, yet remain in close range to the variety of attractions and activities that the town has to offer.
ACCOMMODATION
The Elephant Camp’s suites display their own unique elegance, with a picturesque view spilling before them. Each tent adorns a spacious deck, a private plunge pool and an outside shower, all of which are ideal locations for relaxation and appreciation of the surrounding landscape. Even the bath offers an unparalleled view of the horizon. The rooms have been deliberately designed to celebrate the openness of the African bush, and there is an easy flow from the bathroom to bedroom to private lounging area that spreads onto the
spacious deck through glass sliding doors.
The stylish furnishing and décor has been specifically selected to capture the beauty of the natural environment, retaining the authenticity of the African wilderness. The suites are equipped with air conditioners and ceiling fans, which are a welcome comfort after a day spent under the blazing African sun. There is a tea and coffee station and a well-stocked mini bar, both of which are replenished daily.
During the rainy season when the Zambezi is at peak capacity, guests are lulled to sleep by the “Smoke That Thunders” as the river gushes over the side of the cavernous gorge. This therapeutic and natural ambience is accentuated by the calls of a diverse population of bird life that nest around the camp. All suites are gorge facing, and during sunrise and sunset, the cloud of mist that hangs over the rainforest is illuminated by an array of deep colours between red and orange. While remaining mindful of the environment, The Elephant Camp strives to provide impeccable luxury accommodation and service, in unquestionably, one of the most beautiful location on earth.
