White Elephant Safaris

We had the most incredible stay at WE. Sipho our guide was delightful and went out of his way to make our experience even better. The River cruise was spectacular and we had great sightings, in fact we saw 3 of the big 5 in one day. Thank you Sipho.

Personal and welcoming care in a lovely setting. My family just loved the experience and the camp is so well-kitted out!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautifully situated lodge. The luxury safari tents are super comfortable and equipped with everything you need and more. The staff and rangers are fantastic. What sets this lodge apart is the unique position on lake Jozini. The boat safaris are beautiful and really remind one of Lake Kariba. Unfortunately we only stayed 1 night , if we had known how beautiful it was we would've definitely extended our stay. We had some beautiful bird sightings along with Hippo, crocs ,rhino, zebra and a variety of antelope. The sound of the hyenas at night while sitting around the bonfire was fantastic. ||||Next visit we hope to see the elephants on our boat safari and do the black rhino tracking experience.

This place was absolutely amazing. The location was right in the middle of nature, surrounded by animals. There we were lots of Nyala, Warthogs, and other bucks around the camp area, and they were super chilled, and you relaxed, and you could walk right next to them. The glamping tents had everything you needed to have a comfortable stay and are pretty spacious and can sleep 5 comfortably or 6 if someone sleeps on the couch. There is air conditioning and an indoor fireplace to keep you cool or warm. There is also an outdoor wood fired hot tub. Most of the tents have amazing views of the Pongola dam. I would highly recommend the boat safari as it's super chilled, and you can see quite a few animals on it if you are lucky.

We stayed in tent #6 and being familiar with Africamps, we knew what to expect. The tents have everything you need, and what is great is that you could buy ice, wood and a few bits on site by means of an honesty system. Our host, Lorraine, was lovely and friendly. All the staff are great and very friendly in fact. We enjoyed a river cruise one morning with ranger Eric. We saw a variety of wild animals and birds from the boat. It is a GREAT way to explore the park. The monkeys are little terrorists and quite hungry, so listen to the host's instructions and ensure you really close your tent properly before leaving. In fact, I suggest you ask the staff to close it on your behalf as they really have a few clever tricks to ensure the monkeys won't be able to sneak in. We had Nyala and Impala buck grazing around us - really lovely. We can really recommend Africamps White Elephant!

We spent two nights at this „Out of Africa“Safari Lodge. The White Elephant Lodge is beautifully located. The whole estate is so cozy and full of great pictures etc. The luxury tent was decorated with much love. The food was excellent and the whole team cared for us so so perfectly. Unfortunately it was not possible to do a boat cruise due to windy weather conditions but the bush walk was great and a very interesting experience with a wonderful guide. We highly recommend staying at the White Elephant Safari lodge.|Only one point could be improved: lights for the way to the tent would be helpful.

One of the most memorable game reserve stays for the family. Upon arrival at Umkhaya Cottage, our ranger/skipper Eric met and welcomed us. He is the most patient, experienced, knowledgeable and cheerful skipper we have ever had the pleasure to meet. We did 5 days of tiger fishing. The boat was spacious and great for fishing, although it would have helped if there were rod holders at the front, back and top deck of the boat. There were a few hiccups along the way with the boat and puncture on the tyre of our truck however Eric dealt with the issues very professionally and calmly. The accommodation was very clean and well-kept. Martha was lovely and kept it spick and span. It was amazing to come home everyday after fishing to a clean and tidy house. We appreciate Martha and Eric going beyond the call of duty to make our stay a most enjoyable and memorable one.

Amazing place and very vriendly staff and guides. Loved our stay and made wonderful memories. Loved the boat trip on the lake. We have a large family with extensions and the Bush camp could accommodate us all. Very private with separate rooms. Large self catering kitchen and upper deck lounge with a stunning view over the lake. Big 4 game viewing (no Lions). We where able to spot, Black and White Rhino, Hippopotamus, Crocodile, Elephant, Zebra and many antelope species.
