Everything was simply exceptional. The staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble, our young waiter was professional and very attentive, providing a level of service rarely found these days. Our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly had a real passion for nature. The food and superbly balanced menus were excellent throughout our stay. To deliver this level of cuisine in the middle of the bush is truly exceptional. Candlelit dinners under the African sky and an infinity pool looking across the vast African plains make this a very special place.

Charming accommodation in an idyllic location. Warm welcome and consistently attentive service from the Elsa Kopje onsite staff. Good quality and quantity of food as well as an excellent selection of wines and alcoholic beverages available on the All-Inclusive rate. Beautiful swimming pool and open spa treatment room overlooking the game reserve. Amazing flora & fauna with fabulous wildlife wandering all around the lodge. The Born-Free history & Legacy of the Adamson’s pioneering animal conservation efforts.

Dealing with the Elawana reservations staff after making my booking with Booking.Com was a series of challenges, which easily could have led to an overall cancellation due to the frustration caused by the groups failure to recognize or comply with the conditions of my booking. Ultimately, this was sorted out but it required several calls to Booking.com customer service, as well as the kind follow up directly from the Elsa’s Kopje’s Manager on arrival. A hairdryer in the room would also have been useful and a foot stool or leg rest on the outdoor decking veranda area to elevate your legs. Overall though, the memories of our stay will outweigh the earlier pre-arrival frustration.

Amazing location, impeccable service and delicious food!

Although they advertise walking safaris as included in the tariff, I learned it would be charged extra. I showed the app and they honoured the deal. However, I felt it would be more than one walking safari.

Great lodge with a swimming pool and wonderful view! All the staff are super friendly, special thanks to our game drive guide

View is amazing. Location in National park - proper wilderness
