Top Nine Places to Encounter Africa's Elephants
- Lower Zambezi, Zambia
- Namib and Skeleton Coast, Namibia
- Tarangire, Tanzania
- Amboseli, Kenya
- Chobe National Park, Northern Botswana
- Ruaha, Southern Tanzania
- Kwandwe Malaria-Free Reserve, South Africa
- Mana Pools, Zimbabwe
- The Luangwa Valley, Zambia
Listen to a breeding herd communicate as they roam ancestral routes across the savannahs. You’ll be awestruck by the combination of social intelligence and raw power.
From June to early November in Zambia, water sources on the Zambezi floodplain dry up obliging the elephants to head for the river.
We recommend Old Mondoro Camp as a great place to see elephants on your trip.
As you’re shaving you’ll see one wander past, dwarfing your cottage.
You’ll be amazed that a creature so large can move so silently. At lunchtime they sometimes come right up to the dining lodge to satisfy their curiosity.
Later, sit on the riverbank and watch them swimming and playing in the Zambezi at the end of a long dry day in the bush.
Of course Old Mondoro offers safaris too, on the river, on foot and by vehicle. But what’s happening in camp can be just as interesting.
Old Mondoro Bushcamp is a family-run camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park that provides an authentic safari experience without compromising on luxury or service. Fantastic views of the Zambezi and unbeatable wildlife encounters await your arrival, as you escape your routine and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Park.
Nowhere is this more poignantly apparent than in the deserts of the Namib and Skeleton Coast.
Yet in Namibia you always have to look deeper and your guide will unlock the ways plants, animals and these magnificent, defiant elephant have found a way to thrive here.
Mowani Mountain Camp and Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp are two of our choices for seeking desert elephant.
Nestling among rugged boulders on a ridge that provides panoramic views over the surrounding area, Mowani creates the impression of an African village. The asperous landscape is a magnificent backdrop to the camp’s thatched cottages, and the desert-adapted wildlife remains completely undisturbed as its environmental footprint is so light.
This luxury tented camp is situated close to the Hoanib River and straddles both the Palmvag Concession and the Skeleton Coast National Park. The Hoanib Valley is a truly unique environment, strikingly beautiful and remote. Staying at the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp you will see the valley at its finest, and get close to the wonderful wildlife residing here.
Tarangire is a delightful area where beautiful sausage, candelabra and yellow fever trees line the river bank.
Long established Oliver’s has the authentic charm of a traditional camp and a superb location just outside the National Park, allowing its veteran guides to take you on fascinating walking safaris.
Deep inside the southern reaches of Tarangire, Swala is another outstanding camp overlooking a precious waterhole which sees plenty of dry season action.
Oliver’s Camp was established in 1992 by Paul Oliver. His vision was to recreate the old-world charm of a traditional African safari. We can confirm that he and his wonderful team have more than achieved this. Here you look forward to an intimate and exclusive safari experience, with direct access to nature.
We find the main dry season (between June and October) to be one of the most exciting times to be in Tanzania and stay in the luxury of Swala Camp. The waterhole within sight of the camp is one of the few permanent sources of water for many miles, attracting a regular procession of elephant, antelope, lion and giraffe.
Although Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania, Amboseli offers some of the best views and its swamp, grassland, lake and forest habitats allow elephants to thrive.
Conservation and anti poaching efforts have seen Kenya’s elephant population increase from 16,000 in 1989 to a currently estimated 36,000.
Very few populations still carry the gene for these massive tusks as they have been targeted by poachers over the decades.
Check out the newly opened Angama Amboseli and stunning Tortilis as two of several outstanding camps on private conservancies where you can enjoy Amboseli to the full, while also benefiting from the privacy and multiple activities afforded by staying on a conservancy.
Opened in late 2023, Angama Amboseli is an intimate, luxurious lodge in Kenya’s very first community-owned conservancy. High concentrations of wildlife roam here and you can expect complete privacy for game viewing and sightings of Super Tuskers - elephants so large their tusks reach the ground.
More than 1,000 elephant reside in Amboseli, overlooked by the breathtaking snow-capped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. As a guest at the Tortilis Camp - a Gold Eco-Rated property - you’ll have stunning views, gorgeous accommodation, and a superb activity programme.
As they near the water, they start to run then plunge ecstatically into the cool water. Drinking, swimming, playing — it’s bath time for babies and adults alike.
This season is also prime time for all safaris in northern Botswana. All animals need the water, and the big cats know it.
We have highlighted three exciting accommodation options below:
Perched atop a hill on the banks of the Chobe River, lies the sophisticated Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero. With panoramic views across the island-dotted floodplains - which many big game, predators, smaller mammals and birdlife call home - the lodge offers a memorable safari experience infused with plenty of luxury.
Chobe Game Lodge offers five-star luxury in the wilds of the bush. A haven of peace and tranquillity, the lodge overlooks the winding Chobe River, which is frequented by a whole host of bird species and wildlife including the world’s largest remaining population of elephants. Fully Ecotourism-certified, Chobe Game Lodge is sure to provide an unforgettable experience for couples, small groups and families alike
One of the most authentic ways to visit Chobe National Park without compromising on luxury, Chobe Under Canvas offers excellent service, delicious ‘bush’ cuisine and an unmatched atmosphere. The camp is repositioned regularly to give you exceptional game viewing of the rich wildlife inhabiting the Chobe Riverfront.
It’s a complex, beautiful home to over 10,000 elephants and incredibly diverse wildlife including some of Africa’s largest lion prides and great herds of plains game.
Kichaka Expeditions offers a private safari to remember. Since 2007 founders Moli and Noelle share their passion on traditional walking and camping safaris where the camp follows the animal concentrations.
Explore the rustic simplicity of their flycamp or the luxury of their permanent tented camp for the opportunity to explore and fall in love with this truly remote wilderness.

If you’re planning a holiday in Cape Town and the Garden Route you might think that you’d have to fly miles into the interior of Africa to find an authentic safari lodge.
Actually there are several superb Big Five reserves right on the Garden Route.
There is no lower age limit and plenty of children’s safari activities, so this is one for all the family.
The landscapes are wild and pure “Africa” and you can see big cats galore, rhinoceros, plains game and of course elephant.
There are lone bulls, playful adolescents and impressive breeding families and you can learn all about them from your expert friendly guide.
Set in spectacular African wilderness surrounds, Ecca Lodge is a unique safari property boasting a revolutionary design where penthouse chic meets the bush. Nestled into a gently sloping, densely vegetated hillside, the Lodge is airy and open with barely a barrier between indoors and the African bushveld.
This floodplain on the southern bank of the Zambezi has curved lagoons, grassy pans and gorgeous trees: Sausage trees with pendulous pods, Natal mahoganies and magnificent winter thorn trees.
You can watch them from a boat or canoe from the vantage point of the Zambezi as they play and drink in the water before sunset.
Sometimes they stand on hind legs to reach their favourite succulent pods. For more comfort, Chikwenya and Ruckomechi lodges have occupied their prime positions in Mana for over 30 years and have become part of the magnificent scenery.
Chikwenya is one of the longest established and most remote safari lodges in Zimbabwe. The lodge is set on the edge of the spectacularly beautiful World Heritage Site of Mana Pools. The surrounding setting is one of open grassland, shallow Zambezi tributaries and some of the most beautiful woodlands in central Africa which makes an ideal habitat for a rich variety of wildlife.
Imagine views overlooking the broadly drifting Zambezi River and stretching beyond to the 2,000 ft peaks of the Rift Valley escarpment. Ruckomechi is an intimate camp with just such spectacular views and situated on a large, private concession within Mana Pools. Ancient forests and wetlands stretch behind the camp, and in front is the massive escarpment of Africa’s Great Rift Valley.
The river is Jeckyll and Hyde. In the long dry season she meanders along in extravagant lazy loops. Hippo jostle noisily in the shallows.
In the wet season she powers through, flooding whole sections of the valley which turns luxuriant, riotous green. Both seasons showcase the spectacular.
On a walk like this you take life as it comes. You feel part of the scenery and always find something to fascinate and a memory to treasure.
It could be an encounter with an elephant coming the other way or ten minutes watching a praying mantis.
There are some stunning accommodation options for both North and South Luangwa to inspire you below:
Mwaleshi Camp is the perfect escape for people looking to head off the beaten track and explore some of the more remote parts of Zambia by foot. Nestled on the banks of the Mwaleshi River, guests can stay in a comfortable chalet constructed out of natural materials and complete with en suite bathrooms that are open to the stars.
Mchenja, meaning "the ebony tree", is set beneath a magnificent grove of these trees on the banks of the Luangwa River. It is the most luxurious of the Norman Carr tented camps yet it is also designed to combine excellently with other more rustic bush camps.
There are no fences at Lion Camp, so elephant, buffalo, and antelope come and go as they please. You can watch them from your private deck or the board walk, and they may well be watching you as you swim in the pool. The camp prides itself on its support for conservation and local community development initiatives, including Conservation South Luangwa and the Chipembele Wildlife Education Centre.
Puku Ridge inhabits a remote world of its own, watching the ancient patterns of life and survival while treating its visitors to enjoyably civilised hospitality. This small and intimate camp is built unobtrusively overlooking a vast floodplain where the Puku antelope after which the camp is named can be seen grazing throughout the day.
