Located away from the busy town center, the camp combines privacy, exceptional views and personalized safari-style hospitality with easy access to Victoria Falls and the region’s major activities.
The property is especially popular with luxury travelers, honeymooners and safari guests wanting a more exclusive lodge experience close to Victoria Falls. Travelers searching for high-end safari accommodation near Victoria Falls often choose The Elephant Camp because it offers a quieter and more immersive atmosphere than traditional hotels while still remaining conveniently connected to the Falls themselves.

Suites include air conditioning, WiFi, indoor and outdoor showers, freestanding bathtubs, minibars and large king-sized beds positioned to face the gorge views. The overall design blends luxury comfort with natural surroundings, creating an experience that feels exclusive without becoming overly formal.
The main lodge areas include indoor and outdoor dining spaces, a wine cellar, lounge decks, a swimming pool and firepit areas overlooking the gorge.
