Elephant Plains Game Lodge is located in the northern part of the iconic Sabi Sands Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, offering privileged access to “Big 5” safaris along with warm, authentic hospitality. This family-run gem, operating since 1998 and with a family history spanning over 57 years, offers an intimate experience: accommodation is limited to just 24 guests, ensuring personalised attention and exceptional service.

The lodge is set on the dry riverbed of the Manyeleti River, overlooking an open area and a waterhole where wildlife comes and goes naturally. Facilities include two outdoor swimming pools, a gym, and a games room, designed to complement the adventure with comfort and relaxation.

The safari experience is the highlight: two game drives a day and a guided bush walk allow close and memorable encounters with Africa’s majestic wildlife. Guests also enjoy refined cuisine blending international dishes with South African specialities; breakfast and lunch can be enjoyed in the dining room or on the poolside terrace, while dinner is often served around a campfire in the boma, surrounded by the mystical sounds of the African night sky.

The lodge features cosy rondavels, elegant Luxury Suites, and a romantic Manyeleti Honeymoon Suite, catering to different tastes and occasions. The privileged setting also allows frequent sightings of fascinating wildlife: from elephant herds to lions, leopards, and buffalo.

Elephant Plains Game Lodge offers an authentic, elegant, and exclusive safari experience, perfect for those seeking immersion in African nature without giving up comfort.
