Experience the thrill of being close to these magnificent creatures; witness their intelligence, their compassionate nature and the deep bonds they share with their human family. While the Elephant Handlers share their wealth of knowledge about fascinating elephant behaviour, enjoy a wonderful hour of touching and feeding the elephants, taking photographs and experiencing the incredible trust that has developed through gentle interaction.
After the interaction, saddle-up and set off into the African bush. Enjoy a different perspective while embarking on a privileged journey atop an elephant.
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.
This was my first time in South Africa and this experience was amazing. I can officially say that riding and interacting with this beautiful animal will be something I will never forget. Elephant Whispers definitely gave me a core memory and I will cherish this experience for ever. - Brandis
I came with the expectation of learning a little something about elephants but instead the lesson was mind blowing. You allow people to come touch and give treats for doing as requested. Being able to stand next to and touch them safely will be a memory that I will keep for a lifetime. Your guys took pictures so that people could interact with the elephant and still having it documented. No matter who took the pictures they were amazing, so thank you for helping us capture the memories. Then came the ride walking up to those magnificent beast and knowing that I would should be place in the care of one of talented individuals. They gave great safety instructions on how to mount and how to hold on. The ride was on a marked trail that brought us back to our starting point. I am telling everyone who is thinking of coming to explore Kruger to add this to your things to do. You will not regret it. - Joyce
My experience at Elephant Whispers was absolutely amazing. Thank you for such a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my 21st birthday. It was unforgettable and I would absolutely meet them again. Thank you. - Kayla
It was a fantastic experience. From start to finish this exceeded all expectations. The customer service was second to none. Most importantly the elephants were well treated. Unlike other elephant experiences I have had in India and Thailand, these elephants were not chained and there was not a whip in sight. These elephants were like well behaved children listening to instructions and then being rewarded with food. This is one of my family's best animal encounters we have ever had. All the staff amd handlers were kind and patient. We learned an awful lot about the elephants and found the experience to be simply amazing. Thank you. - Yolande
This was a wonderful experience for the kids and for us as adults. We loved it. - Matthieu
