This place is not handicapped accessible. I was not able to walk all the steps to go up and down to various locations even in your room you had to go down steps from the bathroom to get to the bedroom. The staff was awesome. The breakfast was great

Disliked: Staff & service
One pays for the view at this property, which is spectacular. The rooms are tired, the service lacks finesse, food is average at best, and there was a complete lack of attention to detail and zero management presence around. Had to keep on asking for basic things like towels around the pool, which were threadbare and bleach stained. Waiters kept forgetting people’s orders etc. Way too expensive for what one gets. Members of the team who stood out, as an exception were, the driver, Steven, and Gibson at Reception. I would definitely not pay what I did, and stay here again, as it’s just not worth it, no value for money. Several other lodges around with a better product, better food, and better service. The view is beautiful though.

Highly recommend this hotel. Extremely nice staff always making you feel welcomed. The breakfast buffet has a lot of options. The food was great with a lot of vegetarian dishes as well. And everywhere has the view of the watering hole, you never know who you’ll see out there. Beautiful hotel!

Beautiful Setting, Disappointing Stay

The hotel’s surroundings and restaurant setting are undeniably beautiful, creating a promising first impression. However, the condition of the rooms leaves much to be desired. From the perspective of the accommodations alone, this wouldn’t even qualify as a 3-star hotel. On our first day, our room wasn’t cleaned at all. When we brought it to the staff’s attention, the cleaning lady arrived around 6 pm, clearly unhappy, and failed to restock basic necessities like shampoo or toilet paper. The second day was even worse—housekeeping left the balcony door open, allowing a swarm of insects into our room, making it impossible to sleep. Overall, while the price suggests an upscale four-star experience, the service and room quality barely meet the standards of a two-star establishment. In general, we found Zimbabwe to be extremely expensive, with everything vastly overpriced. While the natural beauty is undeniable, we will not be returning. If we decide to visit this area again, we would opt for Zambia instead.

What an exceptional experience staying at The Elephant Camp! Carol, Gloria & all staff were extremely welcoming and caring. Can’t say enough about the comfortable & private rooms, exquisite meals, excursions and hospitality. An experience of a lifetime, including feeding the elephants, safari rides, trip to Victoria Falls with Lookout cafe and seeing all the wildlife in their environment. Don’t miss out, you won’t regret it! Stayed here for 3 nights and would recommend staying at least that long to appreciate this incredible property and staff.
