Ultra-luxury tented camp featuring just 12 exclusive tents with private plunge pools. Offers intimate elephant interactions, exceptional service, and gourmet dining in a pristine bush setting near Victoria Falls.
The Elephant Camp sits on a private concession within the Masuwe Estate and Wild Horizons Wildlife Sanctuary, a roughly 15-minute drive from Victoria Falls town, secluded in the bush with views toward the Batoka Gorge and the spray column of the falls in the distance. Operated by Wild Horizons, the camp comprises just 12 tented suites, an intimate scale that keeps the experience private and personal rather than resort-like, with a design that blends canvas-and-thatch tenting with elegant interiors and large glass frontages opening onto the bush. Each suite has a separate lounge area, an outdoor or semi-private plunge pool, and an indoor-outdoor bathroom, finished with locally sourced materials in keeping with the camp's conservation ethos and solar-powered operations. Dining takes place at the Lookout Cafe and around the central lodge, with gourmet, multi-course meals typically included as part of all-inclusive stays, alongside a fully stocked bar. There is no traditional spa, but in-suite plunge pools and bush-set lounging areas provide a similar sense of retreat, complemented by guided bush walks, sunset drinks at the Lookout Deck overlooking the gorge, and access to the sanctuary's elephant conservation program for close, ethically run elephant interactions. Service is highly personalized with a butler assigned to each suite, suited to honeymooners and travelers seeking an exclusive, wildlife-focused stay near the falls.
