- Kruger Park - Northern Province -

Elephant Plains is situated in the 65, 000 hectare Sabi Sand Wildtuin, which forms part of the Greater Kruger National Park, a huge 2.2 million hectare area where animals roam freely with no fences. The Sabi Sand Wildtuin was set up in the 1950's by a group of private landowners who dropped the fences between their properties in order to create a larger area for the animals to traverse. The reserve is named after its two main rivers, the Sabi and Sand rivers which both flow to the south of Elephant Plains.

The lodge is situated on the bank of the Manyeleti, a perennial river that only flows in years of particularly high rainfall. We traverse an area of over 4000 ha that encompasses clay-based plains, broad-leafed, hilly woodland interspersed with dolerite ridges and mature riverine habitats, creating a fantastic biodiversity of flora and fauna.

The property of Elephant Plains has been in the family since 1962, but has only been run as a commercial lodge since 1998. It is owned by Dr. Etienne and Margie Swart (Witpoort Familie Trust), and managed by their son, Etienne. The construction of a new main building and six luxury chalets in the first half of 2003, has allowed us to take a maximum of 22 guests at a time. We have maintained our personal service and the warm, friendly atmosphere for which we are renowned and remembered.


The lodge comprises six luxury suites, each with a lounge area and private deck with views of the riverbed.


The natural design and architecture of these six glass-fronted suites falls softly on the eye, decorated in warm, earthy tones they blend in superbly with their natural surroundings. These exclusive open-plan suites each have a lounge, double bedroom, en suite bathroom (inside/outside shower) and a private sun-deck that offers spectacular views over the riverbed. All luxury chalets feature air-conditioning, overhead fans, wood fires, mosquito nets and a safe. One chalet has been specially prepared to accommodate our disabled guests.

The lodge features five spacious appointed thatched chalets tastefully decorated with an African theme. Every chalet has its own distinct character and comfortable charm, and looks out over the beautifully landscaped garden. All chalets have en-suite bathrooms (bath and shower) air-conditioning, overhead fans and mosquito nets.

The bar is an ideal place to relax and share experiences. Mealtimes are mouth-watering events complemented by carefully selected wines from the Lodge's well-stocked cellar.


Breakfast and lunch are served buffet style in the dining room and evening meals are served around a fire in the boma. Each meal is prepared with exquisite care and this combined with the open-air setting, promise an unforgettable dining experience. Adjacent to the swimming pool , the wooden deck offers spectacular views overlooking the waterhole and scenic plain . The care with which each meal is prepared together with the setting of the open-air boma or thatched lapa , ensure an unforgettable dining experience.


Your experienced game ranger and local Shangaan tracker are keen to share with you their extensive knowledge and love of the African bush - the highlight of your visit is the thrill of discovering wildlife from the safety of open vehicles. The 4-wheel drive vehicles enable the rangers to drive off-road and provide guests with up close game viewing and great photographic opportunities. The day starts with an early morning game drive, then after breakfast a bush walk gives you the opportunity to learn about the smaller wonders of the veld. During the afternoon game drive you will stop at a carefully selected venue to enjoy a sun-downer whilst watching the sun set over the awe-inspiring wilderness, before continuing on a night drive using spotlights to look for nocturnal animals.

Our personalised service is of the highest standard due to the exclusivity and smallness of the lodge.

At Elephant Plains Game Lodge you can be sure of an experience that will live up to the Africa of your dreams … creating a lifetime of memories!
