Enjoy a special hour getting up close to these magnificent elephants. Discover their intelligence, gentle nature, and the unique bonds they share with their human family.
With our friendly elephant handlers guiding you, learn fun and fascinating facts while feeding, touching, and taking photos with Tembo, our much-loved gentle giant. It’s a memorable, hands-on experience for all ages, filled with moments of connection and wonder.
For the well-being of both our guests and our elephants, safety guidelines are shared before each activity. Experienced handlers are present throughout to guide you. Please bring your own camera (our team will happily assist with photos). Refreshments are available for purchase on site. If rain is expected, please bring suitable rainwear — our elephants aren’t fans of umbrellas, so we kindly ask that they stay tucked away. Children under 16 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian aged 21 years or older.
*An absolutely unforgettable experience!* We had the most lovely experience at Elephant Whispers in Hazyview. From the moment we arrived the team was so warm, professional and passionate about what they do. You can feel straight away how much love and respect they have for their elephants --- Tembo, Andile and the others are just incredible. So gentle, so intelligent. Learning about them, interacting with them up close, and seeing the bond they have with their handlers was truly special. It's educational, ethical and so moving --- you leave with a full heart and a new appreciation for these magnificent animals. We absolutely loved it ! If you are in Hazyview / Sabie area, this is a MUST DO. Thank you Elephant Whispers for a memory we will cherish forever. ?[?] 5 stars all the way! - Marelize
Une experience toujours aussi incroyable pour ma seconde visite. Tumbo et ses collegues sont toujours aussi majestueux et incroyablement dote d'une intelligence exceptionel. Et l'accueil et tout simplement superbe, les guides et soigneurs sont d'une gentillesse extraordinaire. - Frederic
What a fantastic experience it was to stand close to Tembo and give him a hug. You immediately feel a connection with him. It was an honor to have had this experience. The facilities and the guides were highly professional. A full hour is dedicated to explaining everything about elephant anatomy, senses, diet, reproduction, and habits. During that hour, you also get the chance to feed, touch, and hug the elephant. The guides take photos and videos using your own camera, so the entire setup is very professional. It is highly recommended if you want to learn about elephants while in the Graskop or Hazyview area. For me, this was the highlight of the region. - Gert
It was a wonderful experience. The guides were very knowledgeable and the elephants were magical. I will highly recommend Elephant Whispers to anyone who visits the area or the Kruger Park. - Sanet
Incredible experience for children and adults too! - Marco
