ELEPHANT CAMP, VICTORIA FALLS Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, is believed to have been the first European to view Victoria Falls on 16 November 1855, from what is now known as Livingstone Island, one of two land masses in the middle of the river, immediately upstream from the falls on the Zambian side. Livingstone named his discovery in honour of Queen Victoria of Britain, but the indigenous Tonga name, Mosi-oa-Tunya — “The Smoke That Thunders” — continues in common usage as well. The World Heritage List officially recognizes both names. The nearby national park in Zambia is named Mosi-oa-Tunya, whereas the national park and town on the Zimbabwean shore are both named Victoria Falls. The stunning Elephant Camp was completed in late 2010 making it the newest safari style accommodation in Victoria Falls. Situated on the Wild Horizons private wildlife concession on a slightly elevated hillock, it has been cleverly designed so that each tent is private, yet each one having it’s own spectacular view across unspoilt bushveld towards the Zambezi gorges. The main complex is spacious and beautifully decorated with fine furnishing. The enormous deck has a wonderful view right across to the towering column of spray rising from Victoria Falls. The Elephant Camp is a luxury lodge which caters for maximum of 18 guests only, in the most gorgeous suites imaginable. Everything is tastefully done and of the highest quality. Your host Jonathan and his staff are ever attentive and will ensure that your stay is an unforgettable one. The guest book is already full of glowing testimonies.
