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. Guests can enjoy stunning views of the adjacent river from elegant decks, indulge in professionally prepared cuisine, and explore a curated wine selection from the on-site wine cellar. And that's all before the bush adventure even begins.
With exciting safari options, professional guides, and the great, wild African bush practically at its doorstep, Elephant Plains Game Lodge is an incredible destination for guests hoping to experience the bush in all its wonder.
Accommodation at Elephant Plains is provided in a series of Rondavels, each featuring air conditioning, coffee-making facilities, en-suite bathrooms, mosquito netting, and sundecks.
There are also several Luxury Suites, which include air conditioning, fireplaces, minibars, overhead fans, safes, tea and coffee-making stations, and mosquito netting for added comfort.
Elephant Plains offers two daily guided safari drives—one in the morning and another at dusk. These outings are coordinated by highly trained teams of experienced game rangers and local Shangaan trackers. Additionally, daytime guided bush walks allow guests to get up close to the wildlife. During these walks, guests can engage with their trackers and learn about local flora, bird habitats, and the area's history.
A unique highlight for guests is the lodge's skywatching excursions. Far removed from the heavy city lights that often obscure the stars, these trips offer an awe-inspiring view of the night sky. Guides, trained in astronomy, provide fascinating insights during these informative evening outings.
The lodge’s facilities include a curio shop, swimming pool, laundry services, internet connectivity, babysitting services, coffee-making stations, a library, health spa amenities, and a private wine cellar.
Accommodation, two daily game drives, a daily bushwalk, three daily meals, and tea/coffee.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
