The Elephant Camp is an ultra-luxury, all-inclusive tented camp run by Wild Horizons, on a private ridge above its own Wildlife Sanctuary with views of the Batoka Gorge and the falls' spray. Each of the 16 suites has a private plunge pool, outdoor shower and a deck opening onto the bush, and three suites include elevated "Star Bed" sleep-outs; guests can visit elephants at the adjoining sanctuary.

What it costs

The official site cites all-inclusive rates from $835 per person per night, while a separate group-rate page on the same operator cites $266pp/night plus a separate $50pp/night conservation levy for 1–9 guests — the two figures do not reconcile cleanly and likely reflect different rate cards or seasons, so we report both rather than presenting either as definitive; check directly with the operator for a current quote.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
