If you are looking for a five star jungle lodge, this is not the place for you. The rooms are fairly basic and do not have the luxurious feel that some of the nicer lodges have. But the Elephant Valley Lodge is definitely a good option if you are not looking for luxury in the Chobe area. The owners of... More

Jenman Safaris of Cape Town arranged a five day tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. This turned out to be a great trip. The Elephant Valley Lodge near the park was a superb place. The permanent tents were well maintained and the food was terrific. They organized three safaris (one via water and two via land) in the... More

It was the last part of our 2 weeks trip and we stayed for 4 nights. It is a great Lodge, well managed, well maintained and organized. The tents are comfortable, clean, and have everything someone needs. At night you can hear lions or hyenas yelling, you are woken in the morning by singing birds and during the day you... More

The Elephant Valley Lodge is located next to a water hole which the camp insures has water. So after early drives, afternoon drives, and emersion in the plethora of wildlife in Chobe National Park you can continue to watch right from the deck. The tented camps are very roomy and comfortable. The grounds are teaming with birds. Dining is in... More

About 1 - 1.5 hours from Vic Falls airport, this property is a great start for safaris -- easy-going, comfortable, and welcoming. The open buffet setting for meals allows "new" friends from safari vehicles to mingle and sit together. Things I didn't like: - drive to the park was longer than I liked Things I liked: - friendly management and... More

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
