We spent 2 nights here, and really enjoyed it. We had a lovely lunch on arrival - pasta, moussaka, salad, chicken, and hot vegetables. It is out in the middle of nowhere, but that added to the African feeling. Then the afternoon safari - I did get used to the road after quite a few trips on it! Ren was... More

We stayed at Elephant Valley for three nights at the start of a week safari. We moved on to a few other resorts and wished we had never left. Elephant Valley was by far the best place we stayed, great staff, GREAT MANAGEMENT! Our guide worked so hard to show us all the animals we wanted! Highly recommend a stay... More

We first stayed at Elephant Valley Lodge one year ago and decided to return this year with our family. Brilliant decision! The staff are extremely helpful and the guides are second to none. Our guide was Patrick, who is simply the best, and made sure we saw all the wildlife and then some. We spent 3 full days with Patrick... More

Comfortable tented camp half an hours drive from Chobe Park. One of these nice places with just a few beds, clean pool, nice staff, god food, free Internet, bar area with comfortable sofas with an open view over the waterhole with lots of animals in the evening. Dinner nicely served in a "Boma" close to the waterhole.

we stayed for 2 nights in late March. Rooms were clean, relatively comfortable. Hot. Front desk provided WiFI access code although service was limited to the area. Food was mediocre. Had a great guide, Vasco. Chobe game drives were great. Lots of animals including a leopard and a lion. Boat ride was also worth it as you are next to... More

We had easy access to the internet cave...behind the front desk, you can use their computers to access the internet. I was able to use the phone to call our tour operator, at no additional charge. Laundry was done... More

I stayed at the Valley Lodge for 3 days, 2 night in December. As a "city" guy I did not know what to expect by camping in the bush. However, the lodge does everything possible to make your experience comfortable. The tents are very luxurious--hot shower, outlets for charging, mosquito repellant, and they even do your laundry for free. The... More

The tents at Elephant Valley Lodge are as permanent as a tent could be including a door with a lock. It is comparable to a hotel room except the exterior is a tent. The staff cannot do enough to satisfy the guests and are always asking if there is something they can do for you. Dinner is served al fresco... More

Getting to the lodge is a joyful safari in itself. Arriving down a dirt track with minimum sinage I had already count over 30 elephants! The lodge set in well kept green surrounds and is staffed by friendly & attentive staff. The meals were buffet for Breakie & lunch and always delicious with many options incl a wonderful dessert.
