Elephant Rock Private Safari Lodge

Elephant Rock Lodge is a small and intimate safari lodge in the heart of the malaria-free Nambiti Private Game Reserve, just a few hours from Durban.

With only five chalets and a maximum of ten guests, your stay feels personal from the moment you arrive. There are no large crowds or busy schedules — just time to slow down, enjoy the bush and experience safari at your own pace.

Head out on game drive in search of the Big 5, spend time watching wildlife from the lodge deck around our private waterhole, or simply sit back and take in the views. With incredible birdlife, indigenous trees and the sounds of the bush all around you, Elephant Rock is a place where it is easy to switch off.

Our small size also means we can offer a more personal experience. Whether you are visiting as a couple, celebrating something special or booking the lodge exclusively with family or friends, we get to know our guests and make your stay feel just that little bit more your own.

The experience is about more than simply ticking the Big 5 off a list. It is about the excitement of heading out on safari, listening to your guide share their knowledge, enjoying good food, taking in the views and collecting the kind of moments that stay with you long after you have left.

Small, personal and surrounded by the beauty of Nambiti, Elephant Rock Lodge offers a safari experience that feels relaxed, genuine and entirely its own.
