Customer Reviews

The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. The experience was unbelievable with staff helping taking photos. Feeding the elephants felt exceptional. - Dawn


Good experience that worth the money ? - Bennedictor


Our visit at the sanctuary was so nice. It was very informative and being so close to the elephants is a very intense experience. - Sara


This is the second time I have come to the elephant sanctuary and it did not disappoint! I brought my little girl (2 years old) for her first interaction with elephants and as a single mom, I cannot praise your team enough, everyone was so helpful, accommodating and really made it a special mama & daughter outings. At one point my daughter hurt herself and the guide (Themba) even helped me carry her back from the interaction. I love the gift shop (though it is definitely priced for tourists!) and I fully intend to be an annual visitor so my daughter gets to understand and love these beautiful animals. It is two weeks since we visited and she is still talking about it. Thank you so much and thank you to the amazing team! - Sam


Once again, the Elephant Sanctuary is a highlight and the most amazing experience. My family from Australia also loved every moment. I am happy that the visit is arranged to suit the elephants' timetable. - Ingrid
