Breakfasts and lunches are usually taken in the gracious dining room, whilst dinners are held under starlit skies in the open boma, weather permitting.
Although running to a set program of events, there is a natural progression of the days activities, combined with many opportunities to relax and enjoy a siesta, so the exciting game viewing is never too tiring. There are safaris in 4x4 safari vehicles during the early mornings and afternoons from Elephant Plains Lodge. Afternoon game drives include sundowner cocktails, and when dark, spotlight safaris provide the opportunity to view nocturnal creatures and carnivores which are frequently seen on the hunt. With the use of 4x4 safari vehicles, the rangers are able to go off-road, and are not limited only to the road network, making for very exciting drives. Walks are conducted after breakfast.
