Elephant Plains Game Lodge offers you comfortable and affordable style in one of the world's few remaining wilderness areas. Elephant Plains is a privately owned and operated property within the Sabi Sand Wildtuin, part of the 2, 2 million hectare Greater Kruger National Park. Over many years our strict conservation policies and successful habitat management have resulted in a rich diversity of fauna and flora. Here you will come face to face with Africa’s Big Five and may be lucky enough to encounter other rarer species such as the endangered wild dogs and cheetah.

The highlight of your visit will surely be the thrill of discovering wildlife from the safety of open 4x4 vehicles. Your experienced game ranger and local Shangaan tracker are keen to share their extensive knowledge and love of the African bush with you. The day starts with an early morning game drive, then after breakfast a bush walk gives you the opportunity to learn about the smaller wonders of the veld. During the afternoon game drive you will stop at a carefully selected venue to enjoy a sundowner drink whilst watching the sun set over the awe-inspiring wilderness.

Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style in the dining room or viewing deck and evening meals are served around a fire in the boma (weather permitting). Each meal is prepared with exquisite care and this, combined with the open-air setting, promise an unforgettable dining experience.

Elephant Plains is home to a maximum of 24 guests. The fact that Elephant Plains is an owner run lodge, together with our gracious hospitality and personal touch, ensures that every need is catered for.
