Walk with Elephants in Their Natural Environment
Overview
Is it safe? Yes. Our groups are kept to a maximum of 8 people in order not to upset the elephants. The hike is guided by 3 elephant rangers who will keep you safe. The 3 elephants were rescued from the Kruger Park and and used to humans being around them.
What the tour is about? We take a walk with the elephants in their natural environment. The list distance covered is between 500m and 2km depending on what the elephants decide to do. Sometime they are active and sometimes they just eat trees. All in all, an incredible experience and totally ethical. This is not a zoo or a petting facility.

Driver picked me up on time and transported me directly to the elephant sanctuary about an hour from my hotel. Driver waited the entire time I was at the sanctuary and promptly transported me back to the hotel. Harry was friendly and we talked about different travels and shared some pictures. Elephant sanctuary was great. First they bring you in to observe and feed some elephants. Then you go for a walk with them and have an opportunity to get up close with them. Elephant keepers will take your pictures. Afterwards the guide gives you some educational background regarding elephants and answers any questions.Despite my having to rebook the tour on very short notice Ben arrived at my hotel within an hour. Because I was solo he stayed with me the entire time and went out of his way to make sure I was looked after. The elephants were magnificent and well worth the trip.
