Ultimate Elephant Experience

Hazyview

Activity Description

On arrival your hosts, the elephants extend a warm welcome. Experience the pleasure of interacting with these amazing creatures and learn about their important role as wildlife ambassadors for the African Elephant. Set off into the African bush for a midday elephant ramble with great photographic opportunities of the elephants in the bush and interacting with their Handlers. The privilege of dining with these large mammals will become a reality, as a light picnic is spread out before you, as you, weather permitting, watch the elephants cavorting in the dam, and enjoying their mud bath. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and your delicious meal in a peaceful setting, while the elephants whisper their secrets to the breeze in the trees around you.

Customer Reviews

Don't miss this experience. The elephants are amazing intelligent animals. We loved every moment so much that we went twice. Mid-day and at sundown. To have a personal interaction with an elephant is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The staff and keepers have a wealth of knowledge and a love of elephants that shines through their training and communication. They are the elephant whisperers. You will be safe and enjoy every moment. We did! - Jenny

I am very concerned about animal welfare, and did a lot of research before booking this experience. Based on all the reviews on various sites, I am delighted that I did book it! I was very impressed with the elephants themselves, who did not in any way look anything but content, and who were treated beautifully and with respect by the staff. We live in the UK and I took my children to South Africa to see things that they couldn't see here - and boy did they learn a lot about elephants! It was a magical experience, and one that none of us will ever forget! The staff were wonderful too! Thank you for creating a once in a lifetime memory for us!! - Kayla


Absolutely wonderful experience. Meeting the elephants up close, the ride, getting to see the individual personalities as they play while we ate lunch. Unforgettable!! I will be back. - steven
