Guests are guided on foot through The Elephant Sanctuary. Guides will provide in-depth information and insight into African elephants. You will be introduced to our elephants in the forest area, and here you will be able to touch and interact with the elephants. You will see the special relationship that the elephant handlers share with their elephants and become a part of it. See the stables where the elephants sleep at night. Guests learn about elephant anatomy and are able to feed them. On some hot or rainy days you may see the elephants swimming. Enjoy a drink and visit our curio shop. Remember to wear flat walking shoes, sun hats and bring your camera. Brushing the elephants down is offered on the Elephant Brush down Experience Tour which starts at 07h30 and 15h30. Elephant Back Riding is a stand-alone activity or an optional extra. We offer various tours depending on the duration and intensity of experience you desire. The different tours are listed below with summaries as to what to expect and the rates. ELEPHANT BACK RIDING

Riding is an opportunity to experience elephants from a different perspective. It is not a safari experience. (Only for the fit and adventurous). Wear jeans or long pants. Guests may choose Elephant Back Riding without doing an Elephant tour or they may add it onto any of the Elephant tours. Children must be 8 years+ in order to ride elephants. The Elephant Ride is bareback and is only for a short duration of approx 10-15 minutes.

Just as humans favor one hand over the other, elephants can be right-tusked or left-tusked. You can identify the dominant tusk by looking for the one that is more worn down.

This is our sweet girl Masingita she arrived with us when she was only 3 months old. On arrival she suffered from many post traumatic stress related conditions after seeing her mother brutally killed for her horn, then having to spend that first night alone in a big five reserve.
We are pleased to say she has come on leaps and bounds since then.
She has been happily integrated into our crash of orphans for several months now and is doing very well.
She is a gentle soft natured baby and still available for adoption, if you would like to help support her in any way it would be much appreciated: http://www.rhinorevolution.org/donate
