The Rondavels are set in the beautifully landscaped garden of the original family holiday camp and one can still feel their old bushveld charm upon entering. The Rondavels have been decorated to pay tribute to Oupa Dries and Ouma Anna Steyn, without whom Elephant Plains Game Lodge would not have existed.
The Rondavels feature sundecks, air conditioning, overhead fans, mosquito nets, electronic safes, as well as mini bars and tea & coffee facilities. While being elegant and luxurious, the Rondavels offer great value for money and affordable game lodge accommodation.

“Driver Morné and tracker Dion. Thank you so much to all of the Elephant Plains staff for an incredible few days. We feel totally privileged to have been able to stay here and witness the beauty and all the animals! Some of the sightings were truly breathtaking & we were so lucky to see all the Big 5. We cannot wait to make a return trip! The extra special touch of the Champagne and the bath on our final night was so brilliant. Thank you very much!! You were all brilliant!”
