Elephant Plains Game Lodge is ideally situated within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, which covers approximately 65 000 hectares, and is part of the 2.2 million hectare Greater Kruger National Park. Although the Manyeleti River only flows in years of particularly high rainfall, it provides a stunning backdrop for the lodge, together with the 4500 hectares of diverse habitats that range from clay-based plains and hilly woodland interspersed with dolerite ridges to mature riverine areas. Fauna and Flora of all variety are therefore plentiful. Although the river may be dry, the lodge overlooks another huge watering hole, and the movements of the animals are captured live on an Africam wildlife camera.
Situated in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, adjacent to the Kruger National Park, Elephant Plains Game Lodge offers excellent Big 5 game viewing, luxurious accommodation and sumptuous cuisine. The lodge caters for the discerning traveller, offering a variety of accommodation options, varying from rondavels and luxury suites to the Manyeleti honeymoon suite.

Activities
Spa
The African Health Spa is just the place to go if you have the need to rest, relax and rejuvenate, or just feel like spoiling yourself! While relaxing to the sound of soothing music playing in the background and heavenly aromas filling the air, focus your attention to the waterhole in front of you. You might just be lucky enough to spot one of the Big 5, coming from the plains to drink…
Conferencing
Choose Elephant Plains for your next conference venue and combine business with the adventure of an African safari. The Elephant Plains conference facility features a lounge area with satellite TV, a conference area with a projector and big screen as well as a tea / coffee serving facility.
Gym
Although the Elephant Plains bush walks provide some relaxing exercise, those not wanting to leave their fitness regime at home are welcome to use the gym.
It is equipped with a treadmill, stationary bike, multi-gym as well as free weights.
Kids Area
Children of all ages are welcome at Elephant Plains Game Lodge. We have a children’s program which can be adjusted according to the amount of children we have in camp. Activities include painting, drawing, beading, constructing an ant farm, mini bushwalks and many more. Special children’s menus are available. Babysitting can be arranged.
Star Gazing
Join us for a night of star gazing under the African skies. What better place for star gazing than in the middle of the bush, far away from the big city lights! The remoteness of the lodge makes Elephant Plains the ideal spot for star gazing.
View constellations such as the Southern Cross and Scorpion and find out interesting facts about nebulas and clusters.
Safaris
At Elephant Plains Game Lodge you can be sure of game drives and bush walks that will live up to the Africa of your imagination! Not only will you have an excellent chance of close encounters with the Big 5, but you may even be spoiled with the more elusive wild dog and cheetah sightings. As the lodge is situated on a dry riverbed, the surrounding habitat is favourable for leopards, as these creatures enjoy the riverine and denser bush areas.
Elephant Plains Game Lodge Reviews
“Where to begin. This was an incredible place to begin our safari holiday and our ONLY complaint is that we didn’t stay longer! From the moment you check in the staff is wonderful and at your service, always with a smile and greeting you by name. Our guide Dawie was exceptional and the game drives that he took us on provided memories for a lifetime. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere at the lodge is incredible. Dinner in the round, eating outside with white table cloth service around a campfire is the absolute epitome of luxuriously roughing it. We had such a wonderful time and cannot wait to convince friends and family to make this their destination for their next dream getaway.” –Brianna K
“We were at Elephant Plains in december for two night and we add the honeymoon suite. Its super clean both room and public area. Staff is amazing and the food is awesome.” –TonyTiger19
“The lodge is just superb and the staff are amazingly friendly. The game drives each day are the highlight as you get to experience true Africa and see some beautiful animals in their natural habitat.The food was nothing less then A-grade, with a chef whipping up some wonderful dishes each day.
The rooms were beautifully set up and the pools, gym and spa was just a delight.” –Bverstak
