Elephant Valley Lodge: Our View

Elephant Valley Lodge is situated within the Kasane Forest Reserve, close to the Botswana border crossings to Zambia, Namibia and Zimbabwe, as well as only being a short distance from the town of Kasane and the entrance gate to the Chobe National Park.

Elephant Valley Lodge can be found in the Lesoma Valley and overlooks a waterhole that attracts a variety of wildlife. Kasane Forest Reserve is adjacent to Chobe National Park.

Activities centre on Chobe River cruises and game drives in the Chobe National Park. The lodge has reversed the general order of things, by offering a morning boat cruise on the river (which forms the northern boundary of the National Park), as the river has less ‘traffic’ in the morning, thus making a cruise more relaxed in this busy area and allowing for more time at game sightings. More of the river can also be explored, as there are no worries about hurrying back to shore at sunset. In the afternoon guests can enjoy a game drive in the Chobe National Park which tends to be a little less busy in the afternoon, as many visitors are on a river cruise!

A sundowner can be enjoyed from an excellent vantage point overlooking the river and the floodplains. The wildlife is also generally more active in the late afternoon, making for some excellent sightings on game drives.

Elephant Valley Lodge: The Details

Accommodation is in twenty East African style comfortable Safari tents, with en-suite facilities. Each tent is equipped with mini safe and fan and the tents are spacious.

Elephant Valley Lodge is a perfect alternative to the large 'hotel style' lodges found in Kasane, and offers a much more authentic 'safari style' ambiance. The lodge offers a good standard of cuisine, served either in the dining area or in the boma - both overlooking the waterhole which attracts numerous elephants, and is floodlit at night.

The lodge is booked on an all-inclusive basis with accommodation, activities, plus all meals and drinks.
