Elephant Camp

Victoria Falls (town)


One of the best spots to splash out; the luxurious ‘tents’ have a classic lodge feel and are set on a private concession within the Victoria Falls National Park. Each room has its own outdoor private plunge pool and balcony decking to spot grazing animals or the spray of the falls. You might get to meet Sylvester, the resident cheetah.
