The rondavels have sundecks, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, overhead fans, mini bars, tea/coffee facilities, mosquito nets and electronic safes. While elegant and luxurious, the rondavels offer affordable game lodge accommodation.
African Cuisine
Mealtimes are sumptuous affairs, with a combination of international cuisine and South African specialities. Breakfast and lunch are enjoyed in the dining room or on the pool deck, overlooking the open area. Dinner is served around a log fire in the boma, whilst enjoying the mystical nocturnal sounds under the African sky.
Safaris and Bush Walks
At Elephant Plains Game Lodge, you can experience world–renowned game viewing in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which borders the Kruger National Park with no fences separating them. Not only will you have a chance to see the Big 5, but you may be lucky enough to spot the more elusive wild dog or cheetah. The lodge is situated in a dry riverbed, making it a favorable habitat for leopards. Over time and with a carefully planned habituation process, some of the animals have become comfortable with the game drive vehicles, allowing guests to watch them in their natural environment. Birdwatchers can also rejoice, as there are over 300 species of birds they can observe. Two game drives occur each day, each lasting about three hours, with coffee and rusks served during the morning drive and sundowner drinks during the afternoon. After sundowners, the tracker will use a spotlight to find nocturnal animals. Guests can also take part in a bush walk led by a ranger or tracker, where they can marvel at the animal tracks, birds, plants, and more. Please remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection. All walks must be taken in the company of a ranger or tracker, and guests are not allowed to leave the camp area.
