Adjacent to the world-famous Kruger National Park and sharing an unfenced border is the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve - a safari destination that is renowned for its exceptional Big 5 game viewing and luxurious accommodation. Elephant Plains Game Lodge caters to the discerning traveler, offering various accommodation options, sumptuous cuisine and an unforgettable Big 5 safari experience.
Elephant Plains Game Lodge strikes the perfect balance between comfort and affordability, offering guests stunning views of the adjacent river from elegant decks, sumptuous cuisine professionally prepared, and a wine selection straight from their on-site wine cellar. And that's before the bush adventure even gets a chance to start.
With exciting safari options, professional guides, and the great, wild African bush practically at its door, Elephant Plains Game Lodge is an incredible destination for guests hoping to experience the bush in all its wonder.
Safari accommodation at Elephant Plains is provided in a series of Rondavels, each sporting its own air conditioning, coffee facilities, en-suite bathrooms, mosquito netting, and sundeck.
Room is also provided in several luxury Suites, also fitted with air conditioning, as well as fireplaces, minibars, overhead fans, safes, tea and coffee making stations and mosquito netting
Elephant Plains offers entertainment in the way of guided safari drives, one conducted in the morning, the other at dusk. These outings are coordinated, and the guests kept up to date by highly trained teams of experienced game rangers and local shangaan trackers. Guided bush walks are also conducted during the day, during which guests have the opportunity to get within arm's reach of the animals they spot, as well as engaging with their trackers on the topics of local bush types, bird habitats, and the area's history.
A special treat for guests is the lodge's skywatching excursions, a world away from the heavy city lights which so often obscure the stars. Once again, all guides accompanying on these trips have completed training in this field, and play an informative role in the evening.
Facilities at the lodge include a curio shop, swimming pool, laundry services, internet connectivity, babysitting services, coffee making stations, a library, health spa facilities, and a private wine cellar.
Accommodation, two daily game drives, a daily Bushwalk, three Daily Meals and tea / coffee.

Trip planning made easily and with kindness!
I was in need of help quickly to book a place to stay for 6 people. I wasn’t sure if I should drive or fly and Pascal helped me so quickly and was so kind and patient. He texted with me, called me and was wonderful to work with. He provided me with 2 quotes and helped me through the booking process. Looking forward to our trip!

Pascal is a travel angel! Highly recommend him.
We started planning for our safari trip contacting a bunch of different travel advisors but Pascal's service truly stood out to us as the best in the industry. He took care of planning everything from start to finish for our very last minute honeymoon trip (literally a month out and during the busiest safari season). He is extremely meticulous and very responsive to our 100 questions. He shared first hand experiences at each of the different lodges, personal pictures and gave us solid recommendations within our budget. He hopped on a call with us initially to explain all the differences to us first time safari goers, and continued to be very flexible and patient with us as we couldn't decide! We are very excited for our trip and cannot thank Pascal enough for being our first interaction on our upcoming trip.

Safari booked. SA here I come.
I have never been to SA before, so naturally I was a bit apprehensive about booking a safari on my own. I turned to safari.com for help and I'm so glad I did. Keith was so helpful, patient and saved me money! That's a win, win, win. I would recommend safari.com to anyone planning their trip and their experiences in SA.

Great customer service
Heleen went out of her way to find us accommodation. We left our planning way to late and were looking at the busiest time of year yet she worked her magic.
