Swala Tented Lodge

Upon your arrival at Elephant Springs, you will be escorted to your own private tent. Enclosed in authentic canvas, each tent has a permanent backing and is raised on a heavy wooden platform. There is an elegance in the simplicity of the furnishings here; nothing is complicated or fussy at Elephant Springs, but it is obvious that every thoughtful detail is deliberately placed to bring pleasure and comfort.

Each of the suites are elevated above the ground and have large balconies with personal fire pits that look out over the beautiful savannah. It is possible to continue your safari after your game drive and enjoy the landscape and resident animals from the comfort and privacy of your own veranda. Animals commonly spotted from your private veranda include impala, giraffe, and elephant.

Beds are draped in luxurious mosquito nets and especially plush bedding to ensure sound safari dreaming. The back of the suite includes the en-suite bathroom which consists of dual washbasins, an elegant bathtub, a separate flush toilet and both a regular indoor shower and an outdoor shower under the stars. There is a power strip in each tent so that you can charge your camera batteries, and 24-hour electricity is available. Wi-Fi is available only in the common areas. Turndown service is conducted in the evenings and a coffee/tea and cookie tray is delivered to your room each morning at your prearranged wake-up call time.
