À vivre

Just a few kilometres from Victoria Falls, The Elephant Camp offers a very different experience from the bustle surrounding this iconic site. Set within a private 1,800-hectare concession, the lodge overlooks the spectacular Batoka Gorge and offers, in the distance, a view of the falls' spray. Here, silence reigns once more. Only the cries of hornbills, the wind moving through the acacias and the discreet passage of wildlife disturb the stillness.

The Elephant Camp combines the charm of safaris of old with resolutely contemporary comfort. The spacious luxury tents blend seamlessly into their surroundings and invite guests to slow down. The property belongs to Wild Horizons, whose commitment to conservation lies at the heart of its identity. The camp notably supports the Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary and the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust, two major initiatives dedicated to protecting elephants, wildlife and veterinary research.

Layout

The main camp has just 12 suites, complemented by The Elephant Camp West, a more secluded section designed for families or small groups wishing to have the camp to themselves.
The common areas open wide onto the gorges and the park's landscapes.
There is an elegant lounge, a bar, a dining room, several panoramic terraces, and a pool with an exceptional view over the bush.
Every detail favors privacy and immersion in nature.

For your children

Children are welcomed from age 7 at the main camp.
Families will appreciate the family suites with two interconnecting rooms.
When The Elephant Camp West is privatised, children of all ages are accepted.

Rooms

The Elephant Camp offers three suite categories: Deluxe Tents, Family Suites made up of two connecting rooms, and Star Suites, which feature an outdoor bed set on a private platform for sleeping under the African sky.
All suites offer a large terrace, a private pool, an outdoor shower, air conditioning, a complimentary minibar, and sweeping views over Batoka Gorge.
The atmosphere blends safari canvas, noble woods and contemporary African elegance.

SPA

Massages are available for guests.

Chitake Mobile Camp is a seasonal camp, set up during the dry season near the Chitake River, which flows down from the southern escarpment of the Zambezi. In the southern winter, the river dries up, leaving only a small source of water. This source is therefore highly sought after by wildlife. This gathering of animals offers wonderful sightings for nature-loving ...

Stanley and Livingstone Hotel

A tranquil retreat

Stanley & Livingstone Hotel cultivates the timeless charm of the Victorian era — fittingly, it takes its name from two giants of British colonial exploration, a journalist and a missionary doctor respectively. This refined small hotel (just 16 suites), with its Victorian charm, sits on a private estate of more than 2,400 hectares, around fifteen minutes (13 km) by car from the falls ...
