Elephant Plains was phenomenal. Extremely professional and courteous staff, beautiful rooms and common area, and our guide was extraordinarily knowledgable and patient with us. Elephant Plains lived up to its name, and we saw many elephant lumber by from the comfort of our room's patio. My only complaint about Elephant Plains would be that the food didn't quite live up to expectations - meat was often very overcooked and tough.

Elephant Plains was nice too as you undoubtedly know. Lovely facilities, everyone very accommodating, and plenty of food! I think it was good to change venues.

Elephant Plains was fantastic. Did not know it was 3 hours to the lodge from the airport. Interesting ride. The arrangements you made to transport us to and from the lodge were very good and prompt. I do not know if this was considered a mid price property and higher end, but it was fantastic. The staff was very good and so was the food and lodging. You cannot go wrong there. We arrived just shortly after the evening 3:30pm game drive left, but they called the guide back to pick us up. Just had time to drink the welcome drink and left and checked in after dinner about 9pm. We saw the Big 5 in the first two drives. They had not seen Cheetahs for 2 1/2 months and we saw two on a kill the first night. Awesome. The accommodations were luxurious. The food was prepared well and was on the healthy side also. Was never hungry. Game drive was at 6am, breakfast when we returned about 9 to 9:30am and then a bush walk. Lunch at 2pm and then game drive at 3:30pm and dinner 7:30pm. Since we were leaving before breakfast, they prepared sack lunches for us the night before. It was more than we could eat so we shared with driver taking us to the airport. Because of this he refused a tip.

Elephant Plains Game Lodge : We liked it so much that we are planning a return trip already. Only thing I would like to mention or ask you - The rondavels which was given to us had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Then on the top of that we had a luxury suite. It was an overkill.

Elephant Plains was wonderful in every way. The safaris were the highlight of our time in Africa, and we all loved the facilities, staff, food, animals, etc. The accommodations were very comfortable for our family.

We had a truly awesome trip. The safari experience in Elephant Plains exceeded our expectations. We definitely would recommend it to others. The road transfers worked well. We absolutely had no issues with any of the services that you had booked for us. Thank you again.

I highly recommend Elephant Plains. Our Rondaval was very romantic and perfect. The game drives were great, the food excellent, and the guests interesting. We saw so many animals up close and personal. It made our future National Park drives a bit disappointing. Three days was about right for us.

Our stay at Elephant Plains was perfect and air transfers with Bateleur Air also were great. I would give both high regards and recommendations. Elephant Plains seemed the perfect recommendation for families looking for a safari with children. They were prepared ahead of time with a special children's menu for the kids to choose special meals for dinner if they wanted and the guides and trackers all seemed to take special interest in making sure they had a great time - which translated into a great time for my wife and I. I cannot think of any negative thing to mention - only great things about both EP and the associated charter flights.

All your arrangements were great and we loved Elephant Plains in spite of it not being the best time of year to visit (we knew that before going). Food, staff and accommodation was great. It was made extra exciting as the day before leaving the rains were so heavy that the river rose and there was serious doubt as to whether we would be able to get out. One couple had been unable to leave and the Lodge staff were amazingly helpful and didn't charge them for their extra night at all. We did manage to get out as the river level dropped impressively overnight so our plans were not affected at all.

We had a fabulous time at the Elephant Plains Game Lodge. The experience exceeded our expectations. In fact, I have decided that although Mark and I experienced a private reserve this year, we need to include a comparable experience next year.
