Lodge
Elephant Pan
Run by Natural Selection · all year
About
An eight-tent camp in the dry mopane interior of the 200,000-hectare Khwai Private Reserve, overlooking a waterhole with heavy elephant traffic. It has two underground photographic hides beside the main area, open all day, for eye-level shots of animals coming to drink; one streams a 24-hour live camera. Day and night drives run on a reserve with only a few camps.
