Discover everything about this accommodation

Elephant Sands is a bush lodge and campsite in north-eastern Botswana with spacious campsites. Directly opposite the lodge is a natural waterhole where elephants come to drink, sometimes only a few metres away.

There are no fences around the accommodation. Other wild animals can therefore move freely through the grounds as well. You stay within their habitat, with the waterhole forming the natural centre of the property.

Between Botswana’s well-known wildlife areas.

Elephant Sands lies among several of Botswana’s well-known regions. The Makgadikgadi Pans, Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park are all part of the wider area. The source page also describes Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park as close by.

Several Selfdrive4x4 self drive itineraries use Elephant Sands as accommodation in Botswana, making the campsite a useful stop on routes linking different wildlife areas in the north and north-east.
