Elephants are must see when you’re on safari! Lodges advertised as Big 5 will have elephants on offer. But there are a few lodges that offer exceptional interactions with these gentle giants. Large numbers, herds that breed well or well behaved elephants make the experience more memorable for a first time safari goer.
Top End Lodges
It’s all in the name – Gorah Elephant Camp says it all. Situated in the Addo Elephant National Park, this luxury experience from the Hunter’s Collection will leave you surrounded by elephants.

Other top end lodges include the Sabi Sabi properties, the Singita lodges and the Mala Mala lodges.
Chitwa Chitwa and Simbambili are also considered elephant hot spots.
For the more adventurous why not try Transfrontier Walking Safaris? The chance to encounter elephants on foot is sure to suit any adrenalin junkie!
Upper End Lodges
Situated on a private concession of the Addo Elephant National Park is the lovely Nguni River Lodge.
Savanna Private Game Reserve is also a top choice for elephant viewing! And the newly launched Cheetah Plains is another great place to stay to see elephants.
In Kwa-Zulu Natal, you can’t go wrong with Mkuze Falls Lodge.
Affordable Lodges
There are a variety of affordable lodges that offer excellent elephant viewing, but the two notable lodges are Elephants Plains Game Lodge in the Sabi Sand and Tembe Tented Camp in Tembe Elephant Reserve.
