Elephants Drift Main Camp

This private Greater Kruger Park Game Lodge offers exclusive use of the Main Camp and the Parrot Tree Tented Camp. The camp(s) can be booked as a self-catering game lodge or rooms individually booked for your fully-catered Big 5 Safari.

Our affordable Safari Lodge also offers great rates for your FIFA 2010 World Cup Safari. Spectacular Big 5 game viewing by vehicle or on foot. A vast unfenced, remote wilderness bordering the Kruger National Park.

Both the Main Camp and Parrot Tree Tented Camp will be available for you and your group’s exclusive use during your stay. You can decide whether you wish to spend all your time at just one of the camps or part of your time at each.

An option is also to do a day’s walking safari to Parrot Tree Tented Camp through the wilderness hills and along the riverbeds. You can spend a night or two here and then walk back to Main Camp. Your personal belongings will be transported by vehicle.

Main Camp - Elephants Drift Main Camp is charming and rustic, consisting of a number of separate thatched buildings arranged around a large central lawn. Unlike many game lodges, at Elephants Drift we do both game drives and walking safaris, depending on your preference. Both are conducted under the careful (armed) supervision of Manager and Guide, Brad Black.

Brad has a great passion for the African wilderness and loves to pass on much of his knowledge and passion about the bush to others. He has a particular passion for walking in the bush and has conducted walking safaris in "Big Five" areas for many years. Brad has 10 years of guiding and lodge management experience throughout Southern Africa, and is an accredited FGASA (Field Guides Association of South Africa) Trails Guide. Children under the age of 16 years are not allowed to walk in the bush. During walks they will either be taken on a game drive or will remain at the camp under adult supervision.

The property’s longest boundary is with the Kruger National Park. Animals roam freely across this entire unfenced area, effectively making Elephants Drift part of one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world (but not subject to the many rules and restrictions which need to be applied in the National Park such as travelling off road, walking, and game viewing after dark).
