Elephant Valley Lodge

Elephant Valley Lodge is situated in the Kasane Forest, which is adjacent to the Chobe National Park. Open guest areas, a secluded hide, refreshing swimming pool and 20 ‘meru styled’ tents complete the lodge which lies beneath a forest of sturdy knob thorns. It is within these tree tops that the largest colony of white back vultures occurs.

The lodge is unique for several reasons and amongst these is the fact that it is situated within a game rich reserve affording the guests wonderful sightings between our open landrover safaris into the Chobe and boat cruises along the Chobe River.

The camp perimeter is fenced to keep the elephant from moving through the camp, instead now they move around the camp boundary, along their well worn paths to and from the Chobe River. Your tent also ensures that you are able to hear the multitude of night sounds as you drift away with vivid thoughts of the experiences of your day on safari.

Each of the tents features twin beds, ensuite shower and toilet, mini safe and fan. Guests at Elephant Valley are encouraged to join resident qualified guides on both daily activities, these include a river cruise along the Chobe River in one of our spacious skimmers and an afternoon safari from the comfort of a custom built game viewer in the Chobe National Park.
