Open guest areas, a secluded hide, refreshing
swimming pool and 20 ‘meru styled’ tents complete the lodge which
lies beneath a forest of sturdy knob thorns.
It is within these tree tops that the largest colony of white back
vultures occurs.
The lodge is unique for several reasons and amongst these is the
fact that it is situated within a game rich reserve affording the
guests wonderful sightings between our open landrover safaris into
the Chobe and boat cruises along the Chobe River.
The camp perimeter is fenced to keep the elephant from moving
through the camp, instead now they move around the camp boundary,
along their well worn paths to and from the Chobe River. Your tent
also ensures that you are able to hear the multitude of night sounds
as you drift away with vivid thoughts of the experiences of your day
on safari.
Each of the tents features twin beds, ensuite shower and toilet,
mini safe and fan.
At Elephant Valley we have found that a morning cruise along the
Chobe River provides a couple of distinct advantages they include
the following; During the morning the river is distinctly less busy
with fewer boats. This also permits a longer experience, assuming
that sightings kept us busy, and we do not have to cut the trip
short to get back before sunset. It does also permit a greater
length of the river to be explored.
In the afternoons we have found that the Chobe National Park is
conversely less busy and we are able to enjoy a sundowner along the
river to capture the sunset on camera. It is also during the late
afternoon that game becomes most active.
