“Number One and not surprising!”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We had a warm welcome by Jonathan and Bernie on arrival which set the scene for the whole stay. All members of staff were very polite, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. The tents are fabulous and even used the plunge pool. Views of the spray from the Falls and the distant gorges. The meals/food are all delicious and... More

“Unbelievable experience”

With only one night to spare, Jonathan and Bernie and the team went out of their way to make this special, from laundry to spectacular vegetarian meals and a morning hike with Sylvester the cheetah. Some places are just extraordinary and unmatched, and this was one such place. Loved my tent, tea, cookies, and just relaxing, and heading to town... More

“Must be on your "bucket list"!”

This is the ultimate in African Safari accommodations. My wife and I were visiting Africa and looking to enjoy a nice, but authentic, African experience. The Elephant Camp exceeded our expectations. We were greeted at the Victoria Falls Airport by a neatly uniformed, polite and friendly member of the Wild Horizons staff. He helped us with our 5 suitcases (we... More

“Unforgettable experience!”

Reviewed 8 May 2013 via mobile

I cannot praise the wonderful staff at Elephant Camp enough for the wonderful care bestowed on us on our recent three day stay at Elephant Camp. We were very jet lagged and tired the day we arrived and certainly didn't expect the welcome by Jonathan and staff..all lined up with big smiles and cool drinks! This care to detail continued...

“Awesome!”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

We have just returned form this jewel in the bush. Jonathan and his team made this an awesome experience. The rumble of "Mosi-oa-Tunye" and the chirp of the various birds, the outdoor shower and the culinary delights of the al fresco dining area, all this lodge right at the top of all the resorts around the world we've experienced. Its... More

“Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! And no power!”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

Very courteous staff. I was not forewarned about all those moths and bugs inside the main tent. This was overwhelming! Also, the power went out which was crazy! The backup generators didn't work either! I loved the property itself. I would stay here again if they cleaned up the bug situation and got some generators that worked. I did LOVE... More

“Worth every penny!”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

You may, as I was, hesitate a little at the price for Elephant Camp. Take my advice, DO IT! Jonathan (who, I hope, will take my advice and put up some YouTube videos to advertise) was a delight and there is a fantastic harmony between the hosts, the camp, the staff, the outdoors, and the town of Victoria Falls.
