Sleep in the Elephant Hide

A very special activity offered at Shenton Safaris are sleep-outs up the elephant hide. Our photographic elephant hide is situated high up in the boughs of a tree on the riverbank. After dinner at Kaingo we will take you to the elephant hide for your night of real African Adventure. The bed is set up for you on the dedicated platform in the treetops and we position a scout (discretely in an enclosed vehicle) on the ground beneath you. Mike Unwin (author of the Bradt guide to Southern African Wildlife) said his night spent up our elephant hide was one of his most memorable and exciting ever spent in Africa.

We do run sleep-outs up the hide any time in the month, but full moon is most spectacular.
