The Elephant Camp

The Elephant Camp is a Wild Horizons’ product and has been rated one of the best luxury lodges in the whole of Zimbabwe, never mind Victoria Falls.  The Elephant Camp is about a 20 minute drive from Victoria Falls town in the Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary, a private concession in the Victoria Falls National Park. Elephant Camp overlooks the Zambezi Gorge with a magnificent view of the spray from the Victoria Falls.

The Elephant Camp is divided into 2 sections: Elephant Camp Main and Elephant West Camp.

Elephant Camp Main comprises of 12 luxury suites.  All the suites are gorge facing and you are able to view the mist, that hangs over the rainforest, from the Victoria Falls themselves, better known as “the smoke that thunders”.

West Camp has only 4 suites, making it ideal for exclusive use by smaller groups and families seeking a more intimate safari experience.  The dining tent and main pool deck are detached from the main camp, ensuring a more private option for your holiday.

All the rooms are en-suite with double basins and both an indoor AND outdoor shower.  The beds can be configured on request to either double or twin. 

All the rooms have:

  • Ceiling to floor mosquito nets that fall away from the beds;
  • Fans & air conditioning unit;
  • Tea and Coffee facilities;
  • Hair dryers;
  • Digital safes;
  • Plug sockets that cater for most foreign plugs, including USB ports in the wall;
  • Laundry service;
  • Nightly turn down service;
  • Complimentary toiletries;
  • Private viewing deck;
  • Wi-Fi.

The main entertainment area of  Elephant Camp Main has a fabulous deck, where the bar and dining area are located.  In keeping with the popularity of their sunken fire pit areas – Elephant Camp Main has a magnificent fire pit located below the front deck.  Also located on a lower level is an infinity pool offering the same gorgeous views.

The lodge endeavours to be environmentally friendly: their electricity is generated by solar power, there is an on site water purification system, the deck is built using environmentally friendly materials and they have as many non-disposable products in use as possible, ensuring the lodge and its guests leave as light a footprint on the land as possible.  Wild Horizons encourages guests to join in the smarter system with their ‘no plastic-no straw’ policy.

The Elephant Camp prides itself on being “more than a destination- it is an experience, an encounter and a cultural connection”, one that we 100% recommend.  So book your trip soon!
