Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

With a maximum of 24 guests, Elephant Plains Game Lodge is a family-run safari lodge with three choices of accommodation: the original chalets, the newer luxury suites and the delightful honeymoon suite. With beautiful thatched roofs, large front balconies overlooking the waterhole and furnished to a high standard, all rooms offer comfort and privacy in the African bush.

After ticking all the right boxes on the home front - a genuine warm welcome, hearty chow and a comfortable bed - Elephant Plains Game Lodge pulls out its trump card: the game viewing. Famed for its leopard and the full spectrum of big game, plains game and great diversity of habitats, Elephant Plains Game Lodge stands out for its excellent game guides and trackers.

The Sabi Sand Private Reserve is an enormous swathe of African bush that extends the area of the Kruger Park by about 65,000 hectares (or a small country if you prefer). Sharing 50km of its border with Kruger Park, Sabi Sand allows free movement of its animals into and out of the National Park. Elephant Plains Game Lodge has a 4,500-ha private traversing area inside the Sabi Sand Reserve encompassing a variety of habitats for great game viewing safaris.
