Four of us stayed at Elephant Valley Lodge in Botswana, Africa. The manager ,Dalmaine was more than accomidating and helpful. Some of the previous reviews mentioned not so good food. Our meals were wonderful and had alot of variety. All of the staff were so nice, especially our driver Patrick. Other than being very warm, all of our activities were... more

Have just returned from an absolutely fantastic stay at EVL. Having read some of the previous reviews but having an open mind (as not everyone's perceptions are the same) we were a bit nervous about the tents. How wrong we were, they are spacious, clean and very well appointed. All the staff are extremely polite and anxious to please, none... more

The tent was OK. The linens were exceptional, but the shower area was poorly lite so it was hard to see. I appreciated the electric blanket at night. I love good food, but I did not feel that the food had any imagination or taste. Our guide for the boat rides and game drives was Patrick and he was excellent!... more

I stayed at Elephant Valley Lodge for 3 days/2 nights, and found it to be mediocre in most all respects. The tent was modestly furnished, and the bathroom was dark and dank. On most occasions the food was so-so, and on at least one occasion downright terrible. One really irritating aspect was that there was a charge for all water... more

Having been to lots of safari lodges we chose this one because of the setting and the waterhole. This did not disappoint ... ask for a tent overlooking the waterhole ... and you can sit on your veranda at midnight when it is floodlit or at 5 am if you want and watch the action. The hide below the restaurant... more

We spent part of our honeymoon at Elephant Valley Lodge and absolutely adored every minute of it. The staff and management were so welcoming and so professional throughout it really made for an enjoyable stay. Halfway through our stay the weather turned bad and there was a mini-hurricane and ours along with many others had tent and water damage. The... more

The lodge was very nice in a terrific setting. There is a large watering hole right on the other side of the fence. A large number of elephants came every day, as well as a variety of other animals. The bar and dining areas have a great atmosphere and are very relaxing..... The tents are very nice, filled with amenities.... more

wow wow wow - this is pretty much the only way i could possibly describe this magnificient place. From the moment we arrived at Elephant Valley Lodge we were welcomed and made to feel relaxed. We had had a problem with our transfer which was done by another company so we were expecting a problem. This was not to be... more

I'm surprised to read others not so stellar reviews of Elephant Valley. My fiance and I absolutely LOVED this place. The tents (the nicest tent I've ever stayed in) were clean, beautifully furnished and always maintained nicely for our return after a long day on safari. We stayed in tent #20, which is the most private of the tents because... more

When the camp we wanted to stay at near Chobe was fully booked, our safari operator booked us into Elephant Valley Lodge for two nights. Having just completed a week at 3 lovely "fly-in" bush camps in the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari, we were extremely disappointed by the "mass market" feel of Elephant Valley. While the tents were spacious... more
