Customer Reviews

What an amazing encounter with these beautiful animals! Staff were so friendly and just wanted the best experience for everyone that were there. My 3 year old was so comfortable and excited about his first time seeing elephants that close. Will definately recommend to friends and family. - Anke


An unforgettable experience, the rangers are so good and friendly, very informative with a great sense of humour. Will definitely be coming back with the kids. - Zanele


I had another wonderful experience at Elephant Whispers. The staff members are passionate about the program there and are very informative. The highlight of my experience was seeing and interacting with Tembo again! (I had visited Elephant Whispers in November 2019.) My, has Tembo become even more massive! I always recommend Elephant Whispers to anybody visiting in the Hazyview area. - Kevin


Elephant Whispers, all I can say is WOW! An amazing interaction with Tembo ( Oldest Elephant) and the information provided by the guides is very insightful. To stand next to a giant and feel the Elephant is an amazing experience. The intelligence displayed by Tembo following commands is extraordinary. The area in which you get to view these Majestic Elephants is also well setup. The Elephants looked well fed and relaxed, showing that the sanctuary is doing a great job. We'll.done Elephant Whispers. Hope to see the Elephants again in the near future and have a bigger experience with these Giants of the world. Thank you for the wonderful experience - Mohammed


It was absolutely worthwhile and very interesting. Learnt alot that day. I would also like like to thank the gentleman for catering for my extra needs, when he realised I could not stand for very long. Really appreciate it. - Jillian
