ACCOMMODATION AT THE ELEPHANT SANCTUARY GUEST LODGE NEAR THE HARTBEESPOORT DAM
The Elephant Sanctuary Guest Lodge is a unique getaway for those looking for something distinctly different. The Elephant Sanctuary, nestled in pristine unspoilt bush, is home to four African elephants: Mosadi, Khumba, Temba and Mvuso
Accommodation is in beautifully appointed Indo-african en-suite bedrooms that are vibrantly ethnic.
Rooms are directly adjacent to the elephant stables.
