Elephant Plains Game Lodge offers comfort, and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Accommodating only 22 guests, this lodge offers a personalised service, and an excellent wildlife experience. It is situated on the banks of the Manyeleti River, allowing for magnificent sunrises and sunsets. The pool deck overlooks a water hole, and the main Lodge is home to reception, dining room, lounge/ bar, wine cellar, and library.

There are two types of accommodation – the original five “Rondavels” (chalets), tastefully decorated, and set in a landscaped garden. They all have en-suite facilities, and air conditioning. There are also six glass-fronted open plan suites, with private decks. There is a lounge area, bedroom, and en-suite facilities which include inside and outside showers. The suites are air conditioned, have overhead fans, a fire place, and mosquito nets.

Mealtimes are mouth-watering events complemented by carefully selected wines from the Lodge's well-stocked cellar. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style in the dining room and evening meals are served around a fire in the Boma. Each meal is prepared with exquisite care and this, in combination with the open-air setting, promises an unforgettable dining experience.

Adjacent to the swimming pool, the wooden deck offers spectacular views overlooking the waterhole and scenic plain.

Your personal guides - an experienced game ranger and local Shangaan tracker - are keen to share their knowledge and love of the African bush with you. You will spend your days at the Lodge on extensive game drives, learning more about this beautiful and diverse area.
