Be inspired by Africa's majestic animals as they quench their first at Elephant Valley Lodge's waterhole overlooking the Lesoma Valley in the Chobe District of Zimbabwe. The area is known for having the largest population of African elephant in the world but it's also home to honey badger, giraffe, antelope, leopard, lion, hyena and more. Eight of the 20 tents overlook the waterhole; the remaining 12 face the lush forest lawn and swimming pool. When you're not watching animals, or listening to their cacophony of calls, take a game drive or boat cruise, and a day trip to Victoria Falls.
Twenty spacious tents offer modern luxuries like tea- and coffee-making facilities, a fan, charging points and even an electric blanket for chilly winter nights. Each has an en-suite shower, toilet and basin, and a private veranda facing the excitement. The birdlife is rich here – great news for keen birders – and animals aplenty. Watching the activity and the sun setting and rising will fast become your favourite activity. We've a real feeling that you won't want to leave.
