Elephant Whisperer is the place to come into contact with these giants in person. It was a great experience and recommend everyone to visit Elephant Whisperer.. - Adriaan
An amazing experience interacting with such gentle giants. The staff was friendly, very knowledgeable and professional. The interaction was interesting and well presented. We learnt a lot about the Elephants, social structures, behaviour and anatomy. Enjoyed the experience very much, will definitely highly recommend this to others. - Janet
The entire experience was incredible. The handlers were very experienced and caring towards the elephants and we gained so much information and knowledge about them. The ride was a memory made for ever. Thank you all so much. - David
English Below: Als ehemaliger Sudafrikaner buchte ich das Erlebnis zunachst als flexibles Erlebnis fur meine europaischen Freunde. Ich muss sagen, dass ich mit dieser Erfahrung wahrscheinlich mehr abgebissen habe, als ich ertragen kann. Kurz gesagt, es war phanomenal. Die Elefanten sind unglaublich intelligent, reaktionsschnell und wirklich aussergewohnlich im Umgang. Das Team ist sehr menschlich im Umgang. Ich habe indische Elefanten in Asien gesehen und die Art und Weise, wie sie behandelt werden, ist nicht nett. Bei Elephant Whisperers werden Sie keine misshandelten Elefanten erleben, denn selbst wenn Sie auf ihnen reiten, reiten Sie auf ihrem Rucken und nicht auf ihrem Hals (was unmenschlich ist). Als jemand, der fast 2 m gross ist und 130 kg wiegt, komme ich mir aufgrund ihrer Grosse und ihres Volumens wie ein Zwerg vor. Ich werde in 7 Jahren zuruck sein, wenn Themba seine maximale Grosse erreicht hat. Es wird interessant sein zu sehen, wie viel grosser er dann ist. Initially as an Ex-South African, I booked the experience as a flex for my European friends. I have to say, I probably bit off more than i can chew with this experience. In short, it was phenomenal. The elephants are incredibly intelligent, highly responsive and truly exceptional to handle. The team is very humane in their treatment. I saw Indian elephants in Asia, and the way they are treated is not nice. You will not see elephants mistreated at Elephant Whisperers as even when you ride them, you ride on their backs, not on their necks (which is inhumane). As someone who is nearly 2m tall and 130kgs, I feel dwarfed by their size and volume. I will be back in 7 years once Themba reaches his maximum size. It will be interesting to see how much bigger he is then. - Sandor
Incredible experience. One of the best things I have done. The elephants are well cared for (unlike similar places in Asia) and have a huge property to live on. The educational component of the tour tied in nicely with the amazing interaction opportunity. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting South Africa. - Paul
