More about Elephant Plains Game Lodge

Game Drives

At Elephant Plains Game Lodge you can be sure of game drives and bush walks that will live up to the Africa of your imagination! Not only will you have an excellent chance of close encounters with the Big 5, but you may even be spoiled with the more elusive wild dog and cheetah sightings.

As the lodge is situated on a dry riverbed, the surrounding habitat is favourable for leopards, as these creatures enjoy the riverine and denser bush areas.

Bush Walks

During bush walk you will have the opportunity to take a closer look at animal tracks, birds, different types of grasses and trees, as well as any smaller details of the bush that might fascinate you.

This is also the ideal time for birdwatchers to get a closer look at their favourite bird species.

The daily bush walk takes place after breakfast and is a leisurely walk of about an hour.

Please take note that you will be accompanied by either your ranger or tracker.
