Elephant Cove is a river property near Shakawe on the Okavango Panhandle. Elephant do use the river here, moving between the Botswana bank and the Caprivi side, though the Panhandle is not a game-viewing destination in the way that Chobe or Moremi are. What it offers instead is water, birds and quiet, reachable by road rather than by charter flight.

Location and access
At Shakawe, in Shakawe. The national register records the ward but not a street address, and we do not invent one.
Small properties, and what they trade
Maun has a long tail of small owner-run guesthouses that sit between the big riverside lodges and the campsites. They are usually quieter and often better value, and they almost never have a restaurant, a pool of any size, or an activity desk.
A good number of them appear only on the national tourism register, with no website and no booking channel. That is not a sign they are not real; it is a sign they serve people who ring ahead.
Who it suits
