Customer Reviews

It was an absolutely amazing experience. I did it for my 22nd Birthday and wouldn't have wanted to any other memories other than having the experience that I did. I would hands down recommend it to anyone and I would without a do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you to all the guides for the awesome hands-on experience. - Skye


The visit at Elephant Whispers was one of the best experiences we have had during our trip to South Africa. We've met unbelievable creatures - the elephants - and it was quite emotional. We did enjoy the nice stories we've heard as well. Congrats to all the team working there! Thank you all! - Razvan


Great experience. Keep up the good job u guys doing. Staff very friendly. 10/10 for all the staff - Henry


We had such a lovely time at our elephant adventure at Elephant Whispers! We were educated and experienced some iconic elephant behaviors in exchange for elephant treats. I was so excited to hear the elephant 'rumbles' and touch the ear, skin and trunk. The staff was professional, kind and it was a humane and charming experience. Once in a lifetime. - Catharine


This is my second visit and is now a must visit every time I'm in the area, Absolutely fantastic experience for all ages, I would recommend this to everybody. Very engaging and informative, so many interesting facts learnt about these fantastic animals from the very knowledgeable staff. Watching the elephants react and carry out commands is fascinating, lovely to see such a close bond between elephants and people. Being able to feed and touch the elephants while learning about them was brilliant. Thanks also to the brilliant staff for taking so many wonderful photos to help us remember the experience. - Kelly
