What began as a simple retirement venture rapidly blossomed into a renowned lodge, famous for its unique waterhole, where elephants gather just meters from guests. Over the years, Elephant Sands evolved from modest beginnings to play a significant role in wildlife conservation, pioneering sustainable water access for elephants in times of drought. The lodge’s unfenced conservancy allows animals to roam freely, offering visitors remarkable up-close encounters. Today, Elephant Sands stands as a testament to vision, community, and the enduring majesty of Africa’s elephant herds.
