Straddling the game rich area between
Chobe and Zimbabwe's Matetsi reserve lies the Kasane Forest Reserve. It is here
in the Lesoma Valley that one will find Elephant Valley Lodge, uniquely
positioned thus offering spectacular game viewing long after guests have left
the national park. The lodge has a very active waterhole frequented by numerous
species, including elephant, buffalo, lion and leopard. These sightings present
superb photographic opportunities from the comfort and safety of the viewing
hide or the lodge's main deck areas. Sturdy acacias reach high above the camp,
forming large canopies of shade, under which you will find twenty 'meru' styled
luxury safari tents. Each of the spacious tents features twin beds, mini-safe
and en-suite facilities.
The Chobe National Park in Botswana is
home to the largest elephant population in the world. This magnificent reserve
draws life from the Chobe River and is surrounded by protected wildlife
sanctuaries. As the region is barrier free, this allows for large numbers of big
game to move freely through these protected reserves.
Accommodation
Open guest areas, a secluded hide, refreshing swimming pool
and 20 'meru styled' tents complete the lodge which lies beneath a forest of
sturdy knob thorns. The camp perimeter is fenced to keep elephant from moving
through the camp, instead now they move around the camp boundary, along their
well worn paths to and from the Chobe River. Your tent also ensures that you are
able to hear the multitude of night sounds as you drift away with vivid thoughts
of the experiences of your day on safari. Each of the tents features twin beds,
en-suite shower and toilet, mini safe and fan.
Services & Facilities
Your safari experience includes a morning boat cruise on
the Chobe River. Guests then return back to the lodge,
where they can while away their time around the pool area or relax in the
lounge, recording their morning sightings on a postcard. The afternoon safari
takes guests into the Chobe National Park where your qualified guide will
interpret the sights and sounds of this wildlife sanctuary. Guests return to the
lodge through the Kasane Forest Reserve, providing guests with a further
opportunity to experience a game drive after dark.
