About this place

Thatched chalets around a busy waterhole. Elephant Pan Lodge sits in Hwange, elephant country. The place is looked after by a resident team who know the area well and are happy to help with directions, firewood and local guides. Rooms are simple and well kept, with good beds and proper linen. Power is backed up so lights, Wi-Fi and fridges keep running during outages, and water comes from the property's own supply. Evenings are best spent outside by the fire.

The space

Bedrooms open onto a shared veranda. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and there is covered seating outside for meals.

Great value for a family. The children lived in the pool and the caretaker lit the braai for us each evening.

The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.

Exactly as pictured. The road in is gravel for the last stretch but fine in a sedan if you take it slowly. We would come back for the veranda alone.
