Stunning views and proximity to Kruger Gate make it an ideal base for those keen to explore the wonders of the national park, just a short ten-minute drive away.

Breakfast
While Elephant Point has received praise for its overall ambiance and dining experiences like the Boma Dinner, which guests found incredible in terms of food and atmosphere, the breakfast offerings seem to fall short of expectations. Several guests noted issues with breakfast timing, as it starts late in the morning—around 9:00 or even 10:00—suggesting it feels more like a brunch. This timing may be inconvenient for those looking to start their day earlier. Additionally, the need for a breakfast delivery service was mentioned, indicating that some guests were not aware of breakfast being served at all. Although the hotel impresses many of its visitors with its stunning setting and particular dining events, improvements in breakfast service could enhance the overall guest experience.

Dinner
Elephant Point offers a remarkable atmosphere for dining, with the Boma Dinner standing out for its incredible ambiance and delectable food. The in-house restaurant, praised widely, is recommended for its excellent cuisine, although some guests noted that it would benefit from extended hours in the evening. The presence of wildlife such as elephants, zebras, and impalas right outside the property enhances the unique dining experience, intimately connecting guests with nature. However, the restaurant has faced challenges, including periods of non-operation and issues with food variety linked to load shedding. These occasional shortcomings indicate that the dining experience can be inconsistent, with some guests expressing dissatisfaction during their stay. Despite this, Elephant Point's overall superb environment leaves guests reluctant to depart, suggesting that its culinary offerings do leave a positive impression on many.
