Customer Reviews

What an amazing experience! I was on my own and the guides were amazing, taking photos and video clips for me... And getting a wet, muddy birthday kiss ftom the elephant was the cherry on the cake. Thank you for an amazing day. - Dominique


The experience was amazing, it was our first time seeing an elephant up close and we enjoyed every moment of it. The tour guides were patient with us and really know how to talk to the animals which was very impressive. - Inno


We had a super experience with this item on our Bucket List! My son and his wife is visiting from China and this was her first encounter with any wildlife animal ever, she could not stop talking about this for days. Our guide James, and all the other handlers knowledge of the Elephants was a testimony that the staff is well trained and passionate about the work the do at the sanctuary. We will definately recommend this santuary to all our friends and family. - Antoinette


Amazing experience! This was a highlight of our trip to South Africa. The trainers were so patient and friendly. They helped us with cameras and phones to take pictures of everything.. The information they gave us about the elephants was very interesting. But just standing that close to these wondrous creatures and walking with them, and looking up at them was awe inspiring. I did pay for the video and it was well worth it. They did a wonderful job. They send it to me in an email and I could download it onto my computer. We arrived early and just a quarter mile down the road is a very nice restaurant called the Salamander that we could sit outside under an umbrella and eat lunch. Do it!!!! You'll be glad you did. - Deborah


A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience! It was an exhilarating mix of excitement and just the right amount of thrill. I can't recommend it enough! The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and reassuring, making the experience even more enjoyable. The elephants are clearly well cared for and are the most gentle giants you could ever meet. - Natasha
