Elephant Rock Private Safari Lodge

Charming buildings with great atmosphere and a view on a waterhole that is frequented by all kinds of animals (amongst also giraffes). Great hospitality the staff goes the extra mile to make this an unforgettable experience and you don’t want to leave. The meals were delicious and creative. The rooms were clean, comfortable beds and a great bathroom, I loved the outdoor shower. The gamedrives were awesome we saw plenty of animals, we were lucky to see the big five but were there for three nights so not all on one drive. The ranger was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and she told very interesting background stories. It’s very interesting to learn about how you keep the balance that all the herbivores have their food and there’s an equilibrium with the carnivores too. Also to see and be explained how animals adapt. I made some amazing lion and cheetah pictures. A place you want to return to and see how it develops.

No complaints. For me personally every day room cleaning is unnecessary and also not making my bed twice a day (I napped for 30-60 minutes after a game drive). Because every time I needed to rearrange the bed to my liking. Also towels are hung somewhere else, luckily I was alone but it might be confusing when there’s two people sharing the room.

The staff, the atmosphere, the location and the skilled ranger.

Nothing. I was happy with everything.

Food,accommodation and staff were brilliant

Nothing

Eveything

Only gripe was the door that didn't close without banging it.

Everything. It's just so cosy and romantic Made me feel so good to be there. The massage was just heavenly

Nothing not to like

The meals were great. They were flexible enough to accommodate dietary requirements. The game drives were wonderful, we managed to see many animals, birds, reptiles, insects and the wonderful flora and fauna. Staff were exceptionally friendly and warm.

Everything about our stay was exceptional, greeted with welcome drinks and help with luggage and shown to rooms personally. The rooms are clean and spacious and every little detail has been thought of and they are fully serviced whilst you are on the game drive in the morning and turned down on your return in the evening. The game drives were fantastic and Keegan was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about everything he showed us but they were also fun. Snacks and drinks were provided on the drives and hot towels and drinks were ready when we arrived back. The food and service from the staff was great and there are hot drinks, water and biscuits available throughout the day. The grounds of the lodge are beautiful with great views of the waterhole.

There was nothing to fault
