The Elephant Camp, Green Season 2018

The second was the exquisite camp itself. The modern luxuries of the camp in no way detract from a true safari experience. The beige tented roof, wooden decks and African artifacts mirror the colors of the rich red soil, dark brown tree trunks and crisp white clouds that encompass the camp. As we gratefully accepted a refreshing towel and cold welcome drink, we let our eyes roam over the landscape before us.

Our tented suite was nestled on the forests edge, over looking a patchwork of colors in the National Park. The expansive marquis style tent welcomed the air through glass sliding doors, creating an open aired feeling without exposing us to the elements. When we stepped into the bedroom, we were greeted by a magnificent view that poured through the glass doors

A personal bar and comfortable couch were on the right hand side of the room, and though there were no doors or walls separating each area, it still felt incredibly spacious. The open plan encompassed the easy flow of nature outside.

A deep set bath tub and shower were in the bathroom, and two fluffy white robes hung there begging to be wrapped around us. However, the outside shower stole the bathrooms attention very quickly.

There is something incredible freeing about showering outside with the cool wind blowing steam into the dark wilderness. A small plunge pool beckoned to us on the private viewing deck, a wonderfully exclusive finishing touch.

You will often hear of famous Zimbabwean hospitality, and there is no where that you could appreciate it more than at the Elephant Camp. Each member of staff smiled at us warmly, and when we saw them again they greeted us like we were old friends.
Everyone was cheerful and happy, but then again, how could you not be smiling in such a magnificent place.
