The small cheapper rooms are too small (less than 2 square metres) We had to make and upgrade because we couldnt fit there with our bag. I think they should advice about how small they are actually

the best place is the garden. super beatiful.

The location is far out of town but the place offers free shuttles daily to the supermarket and ATM. The dogs (not the ones living at Elephant Trail but stray dogs outside) are super loud during the night. This is of course out of managements control but just bring earplugs and you’ll be alright.

We loved our stay at Elephant Trail. The staff were amazing and very attentive. We stayed in one of the tents and it was spacious enough for two people. It got really cold during the nights but the place offered thick extra blankets, which really helped. The family dinner at night was really tasty and they made sure to cook me vegan food, which was much appreciated. The family dinners are also a great way to meet other travellers. The dogs living on the premises are adorable!

I was in the dorm, going down the uneven stairs and outside to the bathroom in the night is a lot when you're half asleep, also no mosquito nets or privacy in the dorm

There's a big kitchen with plenty of space, garden spaces to hang out it, friendly people. I got their shuttle from Vic falls to the hostel which was great and was able to get a ride to the supermarket when the driver was dropping people off at their river trip.

as said just the crockery and utensils need upgrading esp utensils.

all the amenities were very good. the only comment i can i give is that the crockery and the utensils need upgrading and the seal on the fridge needs replacing. please also put a sign up for people to clean after themselves as some just take for granted it will be done for them. but otherwise very impressed

Cleanness, cute dogs, and reasonable price.

Very fun property! Great amenities- pool and kitchen The bathrooms and showers were very clean Staff was very helpful at setting up excursions

Stayed in March 2024

If I need to find some cont, I would say that the dinner and lunch were not the best and the pool could be a bit cleaner. Again, given the price, I think the deal is great.

This hotel is great. They offer a unique value for money in Kasane. It is geared towards young people and has very good vibes. Do not expect luxury but for what you pay, you get great facilities and wonderful staff.

The location is a challenge, unless you have a car or come by shuttle. A water tank could be supplied. Communication between staff was not always working, so make sure to follow-up on special requests.

Nice backpackers lodge for booking safaris into Chobe, much better pricing than from Vic Falls. It is definitely worth coming here to spend 2 nights. You can book home-made meals. They have two dogs and a cat.

It would be good to renew the air conditioners because they are a bit old and some of their fins are broken. It would also be good to put a mosquito net on the bathroom window

Elephant Trail Guesthouse and Backpackers is well located, the place is very pleasant with its garden with greenery and shade, swimming pool, place to eat and relax. Special thanks to all the staff people who are very friendly, kind, helpful and answered all our requests and wishes in the best possible way. They do everything possible to make guests feel good and comfortable!

No mosi nets on our beds. We didn't ask but we thought there would be.

A really nice charm to the place, great little touches. The evening meal was delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

parking (had own car)

1. The heat from my tent was unbearable during the day. I was not prepared for that, but the shade from the trees and the pool made the situation better (i brought my outdoor blanket and mattress and they helped). 2. The stoves are too slow, Have 1 large stove which cooks fast and saves time. 3. Braai place did not have ashes or wood. As a visitor it is not easy to get the wood for braai. So you can supply them at a fee.

1. Bathrooms were very clean. They are situated at a place which makes it comfortable for one to use the toilet or take a bath easily. 2. My tent was far from noise and I liked it. The location of the place (elephant trail) is also suitable for people who work on computers late at night as it is quiet and safe.

We happy with the facilities

Bathrooms need shelves for toiletries and hooks for clothes

Stayed in March 2024

Things move at a slow pace here (the room wasn’t available until an hour after the official check-in time, it’s sometimes hard to find a staff member), so if you value efficiency and punctuality, this may not be the best choice.

The room is extremely good value (the shower was the best of our trip), and it’s very well located for Chobe national park. We organised a very good trip at reception. There is a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere around the property.

Limited parking space.

Very affordable, great for meeting other travellers, availability of tours is very good.

They got confused about how many nights I had booked but it was soon sorted out.

Very affordable and an excellent place to meet other solo travellers. The rooms were characterful and private whilst the communal area was perfect for dining and chatting. The game drives and river cruises available were all you could want and great value for money.

Stayed in January 2024

The room is small so I understand their challenges with ventilation. I don't know how better that can be addressed putting into consideration the dreaded mosquitoes.

We only had dinner on the 2nd day and it was very well prepared and presented. Nothing we expected. Its a secluded place in a good way, we got the number for the taxi driver who took us there and he was very helpful and reliable.

Stayed in January 2024

Unfortunately, there was a lack of cutlery, no spoons were provided and the tents were already full of mosquitoes inside. A spray against mosquitoes could not be provided. :-(

The guest house was nicely decorated The pool was refreshing.

We knew it was out of town... But you can get a shared cab to Kuzungula for 8 Pula 10 minutes walk away.

Great value..the tents are fab.

The only little problem.is the location. If ypu are more into cities and going out at night, the location is not a walking distance. But of course there are the shared amd regular taxis and they are not expensove. I would suggest having more veriaty on the food they serve, specially for budget travelers.

Everything. Thr staff are very helpful. The place is beautoful. You feel.you are in the jungle yet everything is nice amd clean. The tours are well organozed amd cheap. The sharing kitchen is very helpful They have a swimming pool too and a little bar.
