Hyena Pan (Now Elephant Pan) Botswana

Our first time trip on an Africa safari proved to have a brilliant and memorable start due to coming to this camp. The staff were wonderful and the food was exceptional. While the shower facilities in our lodge could be improved, it mattered very little when compared to the overall experience at the camp. Our guide, Sixteen, was very knowledgeable and sought to make sure that we could see and experience the country in the best way possible. While we look forward to the next few camps we go to on this trip, we thank the staff here for making our visit the best possible.

This is a little camp with a big heart. We stayed for 2 nights but in that time our guide Shabba ( he truly is a legend ) helped us see : elephants , giraffe , zebra , wild dogs , cheetah , leopards , lions , wart hogs . Our time in the hide was incredible . The camp is a little further out but the team make the journey worth it .

This lodge has extremely friendly staff. |The food is top quality and operations are very smooth. |A special thank you to our guide Shabba for sharing you expertise in finding game, learning about local culture and driving as a cowboy ;-)||The lodge is a bit away from the river so it takes some time to get to the hotspots of animals but the guides are great in compensatinh for the driving time. ||The pan is offering a unique opportunity of seeing animals like elephants, hippos and others very close to the lodge.

If you want to feel what it was like tenting in Africa this place is real. And on top of that the cooks are like having food in USA but better presentation. The crew is sweet and wants you to have everything they can get you. It’s like going back in time compared to some of the colonial style camps.

The entire team was fabulous. The food, the house staff, the managers, and the guides were all incredible people who made you feel very welcome. Rooms were comfy and spotfree. Everyone we interacted with was professional, kind, and attentive. The communal areas were incredibly cozy and the view of the animals coming and going from the pan was just amazing. We even had a picnic lunch under a baobab tree. Game drive was spectacular with knowledgeable guides who respected nature. This was an amazing stay I would recommend to anyone. Loved ot, didn't want to leave.

Situated in an area between the Moremi Reserve and Chobe National Park, it used to be known as Hyena Pan. We had a lovely couple of nights here and one night at the Skybeds. Staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, food and service were excellent. The small number of staff dedicated to the Skybeds, pulled out all the stops to personalise the experience, lion and hyena calls in the distance under a nearly full moon added to the atmosphere.

I would highly recommend our experience at Elephant Pan. It truly exceeded our expectations. The tents are modern, clean, sustainable. The food was delicious and extremely generous, and the guides were very knowledgeable and dedicated to ensure you had the best opportunity to see as much wildlife as possible. We saw cheetahs, lions, leopard, so many elephants, zebra, giraffes and antelope - all up close and personal.

A lovely lodge offering all the comforts you want without going overboard with luxury. Excellent staff who are so courteous and welcoming. Lovely food and great game drives. The staff ensure that each of your needs are met by silently watching you from the side. Exceptional service is what this can be rated as.
