I unfortunately only spent one night here but wow it was amazing, the whole experience is 5star treatment! the staff go out of their way to make your trip unforgettable. We had our anniversary night where we opted on the pre booking form for a gift basket. definitely worth doing the champagne with the candle lit bath and rose petals.... More

We spend a week-end at Elephant Rock and loved every minute! Our room was huge, with a stunning viewing deck with "two hanging chairs" to relax and enjoy the views of the water hole. The package included all meals (delicious!!) and two game drives a day. I can see why it is necessary to have two game drives a day... More

My wife and I visited Elephant Rock Lodge back in July. My wife now knows exactly what type of home she wants in the South African bush. One based on Elephant Rock! The main lodge is luxurious, welcoming and very homely. Outside as the sun dropped the air had a real chill. Inside however the wood burner, combined with sherry... More

My husband and I recently went for a holiday at Elephant Rock Private Safari Lodge (Nambiti Game Reserve), and we fell in love with the place. We have never felt so welcome and at home as we did at the Lodge. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and the accommodation was stunning!! We were very impressed... More

We've been lucky enough to visit Elephant Rock on a number of occasions and probably take the experience for granted. We recently took our two teenage nephews for their first trip to a game reserve, and seeing how they reacted and enjoyed themselves, were reminded what a special experience it is. In terms of game viewing, we saw just about... More

Our stay at Elephant Rock was a last minute add on to our trip to the battlefields and we ended up wishing we had planned to stay longer. Inga was friendly and welcoming as were the staff. Our chalets were spacious and beautifully decorated, with a private veranda with swinging seats. Perfect for an afternoon snooze before the evening game... More

The meals were tasty. The game drives were definitely the highlight. Steve and David were very knowledgeable and keen to share their enthusiam for the wild. We managed to... More

We stayed at Elephant Rock for three days. Our visit to Kwa Zulu Natal was mainly so my husband could tour the battlefields and the safari was my compensation. It turned out to be the highlight of his trip as well as mine. Steve was a really knowledgable guide both about the animals and the development of Nambiti as an... More

Went to Elephant Rock Lodge in Nambiti Reserve for 3 nights. Game Ranger Steve was excellent. Very informative and interesting. Nothing was too much trouble. Very likeable young man. Food was excellent. Accomodation was awesome. Only negative is that we did not see too much game for a big 5 resort but the hospitality made up for it. Well done... More
