Elephant Point

Luxury Accommodation in Big 5 Paradise
Elephant Point is situated in a region renowned for its natural diversity and concentration of big game, and is undoubtedly one of the best game viewing areas in the Kruger National Park. The estate is conveniently located only 6km from the Paul Kruger Gate, 26km from Skukuza Airport, or a 5 hour drive from Johannesburg. Although not in the park itself, the lodges are set alongside the banks of the magestic Sabie River where mighty Elephants can often be seen grazing and drinking – from which the estate takes its name. Within close proximity to other comparable exclusive world-famous game reserves, Elephant Point can be said to be in a league of its own. With every comfort possible, game viewing from your lodge, nature walks within the estate, various dining options available, a mobile spa on call, and intuitive service – you’ll never need to leave your luxurious private lodge.
