The Elephant Camp is located 10 kilometers from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and offers a relaxing retreat for travelers that prefer to be outside town and a bit into the wilderness. The Elephant Camp is also one of the smallest lodges in the area with only 9 tents (3 more being built now), each with their own deck and plunge pool and view across the Zambezi Valley.

The Elephant Camp is situated within a private wildlife concession and has good views of the falls spray and the natural beauty of the Masuwe River and Zambezi Gorge. The Elephant Camp is most well known for its regular visits from the resident elephant herd which guests regularly see roaming in the front of the camp.

Guests should note there are not many activities around the immediate conservancy but trips to the falls can be organized to participate in the plethora of activities on offer there. Nevertheless, the Elephant Wallow is just around the corner where guests can join an elephant back safari or simply a close encounter with an elephant.
